    Continental breakfast was more than expected. They had yougurt, pastries, oatmeal, cereal and milk, but also packaged sausage biscuits and waffles that could be warmed up along with coffee and juice. The room was a good size for a double room. We appreciated the microwave and mini fridge/freezer combo. The walk to the beach is just seconds and you don’t have to find parking which is the cherry on top! The shower had low pressure and the head could use replacing but that did not hinder our experience. We had a great time and I would absolutely stay here again!

    We would not stay here at half the price. Rooms are old and dated. Hotel charges a fee to use a credit card. And the kicker is a beach hotel does not provide towels for the pool or the beach. You have to buy them at 20.00 a pop. Do your self a favor and avoid the place.

    The staff was on top of it, from check in to check out. I didn't need new towels or anything during our stay, but the kids left a mess on the floor from changing out of bathing suits. Housekeeping was more than happy to assist in vacuuming up our room while we were there.

    Check in was good. After checking in and as we were preparing to put our stuff in the cabinets I noticed that drawer under the phone has juice box that was opened and juice all over the drawer. I took the picture of it and went to front desk to show the mess it created and was told it would be taken care of..... As the day we left the mess was never touched!!. On our second day, the cleaning crew totally skipped our room so I had to chase them down and asked why our room was not being cleaned? She said she didn't know that we wanted cleaned and I said well, I didn't know I needed to ask to have our room cleaned and have clean towels put in. She asked what do you need done? I asked just to replaced our towels and quick clean. After several minutes she came back with handful of towels and left them by the sink and left. Nothing more was done... I will never return to this hotel, NEVER!!

    The pictures of this motel are very misleading. The building is older, and the renovations done did not include carpeting or bathroom updates. The moldy smell in the room triggered my allergies, making sleep nearly impossible. The room was full of dust, and it was clear that the cleaning had been done to a minimum. I was very disappointed in the room, but because it was spring break, finding another place to stay was hard.

    The continental breakfast was nothing but cereal and sad looking pastries. We stayed long enough to have cleaning service which amounted to the maid coming in throwing the comforters over the unmade beds and leaving two new towels without taking the dirty ones. They dumped one trash can. The hotel is very convenient to the beach which was the main reason we stayed there. I’m not sure if I would stay again. It was a lot of money for so few amenities.

    The rooms are clean and spacious. One building is newer than the other so some rooms are a bit dated. There’s a pool and a sunroom to enjoy the beach view while sheltering from the wind. There are beachside cafe tables if you’d care to picnic. Rooms are equipped with fridge/freezer and microwave. Rooms in the newer building have balconies. Clean and comfortable, will definitely return!

    Disappointing stay. The room was very loud, from people in the next room. The parking situation was very tight. We were in a room in the main building, I guess, that is set back from the beach. So we had a very small view of the beach. Breakfast was not good. Overall I expected better, for the price.

    My other complaints are that the pool is VERY SMALL and I don't believe there is any chlorine in the pool. I'm also not sure that it was a heated pool, although they would put a cover over it that heats the water. We stayed in the hotel rooms and the bathroom is soooo small. There was hardly any water pressure from the shower and there wasn't much variation in water temperature. We were supposed to get clean sheets after 3 days but I don't think that happened. The property is just old and outdated. The beach is amazing and close! So if that's all you care about, maybe it's perfect! There are some restaurants close but you mostly have to drive to them. The staff person that I talked to was very nice.

    The location is great, but I paid all this money to not be able to relax in between time because the cable was off the 1st 2 days, maybe all 4 days,I didn't stick around to find out, I loss money on the last 2 days, because my wife can't stay out all day because she has MS so television would've been a plus, or at least a heads up before checking in. I found out later that it was off before we were scheduled I know the staff couldn't do anything that's probably a corporate issue. Staff is friendly but unfortunately there were some leftover hair on toilet, dirty clothes on very top shelf, the drawers had old stuff in it that just wasn't wiped out. The fridge was filthy I'm sorry for the review but all these things were true. But like I said the staff is awesome, but for housekeeping job sake I would definitely tighten up a wholeeee lot with cleaniess may want to keep a more prestine eye.

We couldn’t stay in that room due to allergies and were happy when the front desk staff helped us out. They moved us to a much better room in their Bed And Breakfast next door and we had a restful night. Would recommend staying in the B&B if you have an option! Great beach access too.

    By the pictures that are currently posted on your website the room looks very clean and very nice. However upon arriving, the room was filthy. The countertops had something sticky all over them with a coating of sand. The comforter that was on the bed had something stained all over the corner of it. The bathroom was filthy. I went to the office and spoke with a young girl that said she would send someone to clean it. I asked if there was another room we could go to, she stated that there wasn’t any available. Yet I could reserve one on Expedia itself. The young lady sent the maintenance man with a spray bottle of cleaner and a 1 towel to clean this entire room.. Needless to say, it was still unsanitary. I do have pictures that I will be attaching to this review if there is a place to put them. As far as a return trip to this hotel, that won’t ever happen again. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone.

    We were only there for 1 night for a comedy performance. The hotel was convenient and very clean. The beds were comfortable with lots of pillows. The room arrangement gave plenty of room with a large bathroom counter and a nice-sized fridge with freezer. Staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating.

    The room was a little cold this time of year we put the heat on for a little bit in the day we could see the ocean from our balcony. My room was out of a box of Kleenex so it needed more Kleenex but I didn’t say anything the room was fine and it was clean and we only stayed one night to go to a memorial for my dear friend. I miss the restaurants in the bar and the nightclub that used to be there when I was younger and before it was remodeled I liked it better then

    This Hotel is very old and it shows. Upkeep of the property is minimal at best in order to keep it open. Not a huge deal breaker and probably worth the low prices charged which reflect the conditions of this facility as a whole. The close beach access was a nice perk. There was plenty to do or not do on the Island and we had two wonderful and entertaining dinner meals while there.

    On Friday, I left the premises for a few hours, leaving my girlfriend to nap in the room. I placed the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door. While I was gone, someone (a black male) banged on the door very loudly, waking up my girlfriend who was very frightened. She asked the man what he wanted and he said he was from house cleaning, and wanted to know if the room needed cleaning. She had to initial his check-list. The next day (Saturday), we both were gone and noticed upon our return that the trash cans were empty, even though the "Do Not Disturb" sign had remained on the door. Either "house cleaning" is reading -challenged, or your policy stinks ! I reported all the above to the hotel desk when I checked out Sunday @ 11am.

    The desk staff is slow. The place hasn’t been updated in forever. The door to the bathroom just clears the toilet by a smidge. The tv sound was going in & out and was in Spanish. Didn’t even try to get someone to fix it st 8 pm if my techno hubbie couldn’t. Free breakfast was nothing fresh. Kid boxes of cereal and small Entemann like pastries.Definitely way too expensive for what you get.

    Every time I went on the balcony, I smelled cigarette smoke and I have COPD, so I had to go back inside to not breathe the cigarette smoke. People with no handicap parking permits were parked in the handicap spaces. It would have been nice to have some sort of eggs on the breakfast bar. The beach was almost completely gone from erosion. No stairs to go from the boardwalk to the ocean. Just steep soft sand pathways. I fell going down the steep pathway. On checkout, I asked if they could make sure that my discount was applied, they told me that they could not verify that, that I would have to contact Expedia. I rented beach chairs and umbrella almost every day and every time I went to the beach to use them, they were occupied by people who did not rent them. Lotta room for improvement.

    Housekeeping did not clean up or make the bed until the last night.The shower leaked and made a loud noise when going down the drain which kept us awake. The shower has mold inside the caulk. The shower was a very cheap structure. Had management upgraded the bathroom, it probably would've been better but the lack of housekeeping would've still been an issue. I wouldn't return.

    Our very first day of our vacation we checked in and as soon as I walked into the bathroom I noticed it had not been properly cleaned. There was hair and sand still at the bottom of the tub and on the shower wall it self, I put in a request for cleaning and was told that no one would be in to clean until the morning. The service guy was nice on the phone, said he tried to find another room to move us to but the hotel was “too full”. I ended up cleaning the bathroom myself. The next morning they didn't make up our room until 12pm. At that point I just gave up and decided to clean my own room which I shouldn't have but I rather have a clean room than not at all. I want and purchased some items to do so. I will not be staying here again because I just feel like everything there was so outdated and if you didn't stay in the balcony suites you don't get the same amount of cleanliness and service. I stayed for 3days - 4 nights. Room was only “made up” once my whole stay. Little to no amenities. Room was ok nothing special. Carpeted floors which made everything feel less clean. But other than that beach was only a few steps away, staff was friendly.

    False advertising. They and every other place is NOT on the beach. There are walkways to the beach from the hotel. Pool is small so seems crowded, breakfast is gas station style (plastic wrapped sausage biscuits). The rented chairs and umbrella are old and like a lounge chair that doesn’t flatten. The rooms are old and NO cable tv or streaming. I would not stay here again. Way too pricey for what it is. Only a couple rooms have a view
