I paid a ton of money to have an ocean view
Bed was comfortable
The room was filthy. Under the bed, behind the headboard and night tables. The maid never put sugar & creamer in room. She overlooked coffee cup rings. Far too few outlets in stupid places. Furniture needs to all be replaced. Super old, worn. Sofa had a rip. Drawers functioned poorly & looked like furniture from 1960s. All super cheapo.
Walls like paper. Neighbors loud. Reception did nothing. Couldnt sleep

Staff, early check, changing room, beach pass. Perfect.
Tea in the room would nice for none coffee drinkers and paper for coffee not plastic. These are small, but are nice touches.
9 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2026
The location can’t be beat! The room was cleans and a great size as well and the lobby has free coffee and water filling stations. The patio area outside the lobby was also so nice with seating and fire pits for a great start & end to your days.
The room/bathroom & furniture is in need of updating, but nothing that would stop us from coming back. It did not hinder our stay, just something that I think is an opportunity for future.

It was on the beach
There was a coffee maker and a microwave and refrigerator. But there were no utensils, nothing to eat on. The floor was sandy and there was no broom to sweep it. It wasn’t done by house keeping either. The fan in the bathroom was extremely loud.
