The ocean view from the balcony was great! The bed was a bit hard but had no problem sleeping. The elevator needs to be upgraded. I would stay there again but would ask for a 1st or 2nd floor to avoid the elevator.

Good view of the beach. Small parking lot next to the building. There is additional parking across the street. Staff could have done a better job. We had no soap, no shower curtain, and no kitchen towels. Check in was a long wait.

My room was very clean and I enjoyed my stay. I love that the view that you see in pictures is actually what you get (the view was unobstructed; no other hotel was in the way on either side). I liked that the pool was heated so it could still be enjoyed in the off season and I liked that the pool was open later in the evening.

2/10 Poor

Our room had no shower curtain. We came in sandy from the beach and had to shower without a curtain. The stovetop was not clean. It clearly had not been wiped down. There were roaches in the kitchen. I told the staff, and they just said they’d tell the manager. I got video of the roach and pictures of the no shower curtain and dirty kitchen. I’ll be sharing these in a review since no one from the hotel wants to address this or make it right.
