The hotel is fairly clean considering how old it is but to have a room right on the beach I would recommend it for a weekend stay.

Everything was great except for floor could have been swept before check in or at least a broom supplied due to sand from beach and bathroom could have been cleaned better found hairs on shower wall.

We wanted to be as close to the beach as possible. The beachfront room was as close as you can get. Sand outside your door. It was wonderful.

The pictures lie! There is no pool and the rooms look like something from a scary movie. The hotel is something off of girls gone wild.
Don’t do it!

It is like a glorified motel 6 on the water. Do not stay here!! Yes, it has a balcony you can sit on and see the water but you can’t sit there peacefully without smelling marijuana the entire time! Springhill Suites is next door and is more expensive but look like Taj Mahal compared to this hotel. The pictures online are AI, so don’t fall for it like I did!

I had a big roach in my room. The water was not hot and had to be turned off the next day for an hour to fix the issue. The microwave in the room kept making the power go out everytime we tried to use it. But other than that we had an ok stay ….
