A good night's sleep next to the beach

Great location right next to the beach. I slept well in the comfortable bed. Convenient parking on site. Room was surprising quiet despite being near a busy street and lots of people. It was nice to hear the waves of the ocean from our room. The front desk staff was great.

Classic Queen Room

The view was beautiful. The room felt smaller than the 200 sq ft listed although, I think this was due to the distribution of the space. The room was clean. The TV and remote were not working at first and required some manual adjustment. I would stay here again.

2/10 Poor

Avoid

The room smelled awful. Dank, musty, etc. Also, a former guest must have spilled coffee on the bed- all night long the smell of old burnt stale coffee wafted thru the room.

Precious guest problem

Previous guest interrupted my stay looking for something they said they left behind at 9:00 in the morning, I found this inappropriate and disturbing. It was not the hotel staffs fault but kinda messed the experience up!

Right on beach

Great location, right on the beach. Needs to be updated and remodeled. Cobwebs all over curtain bars. Hate when sink is outside bathroom. Had coffee in lobby would be nice if they had a few snacks also, fruit, muffins, something.

We enjoyed our stay at this property! We had ocean front which was amazing Property management was very attentive for items that were left in the room and their return. Would definitely suggest ocean view room, right on the main drag next to the boardwalk.
