Beds were comfortable.

I felt like the price was too high for the type of hotel, was very old. The price reflected no competition. The view of the ocean was very minimal to non-existent on the second floor. We were asked which floor and we should have been told The View would be better higher up.

I liked that the hotel was oceanfront, which was my request. I appreciate it the continental breakfast each morning.

It was really clear when I looked at the bathroom when I checked in that the toilet and shower still needed to be cleaned. I’m not sure if they just didn’t clean it at all or if they were rushing and overlooked some things, but I had to clean them myself when I checked in. One day that I was there, I was sitting on the balcony and I heard housekeeping come in and when I went back into the room after they left, they had emptied the trash and restocked the towels, but they hadn’t made my bed which I didn’t understand.

The Breakfast was good. Wish there was bacon added to the choices. Staff Was good. AC went out when we was gone and came back to it broke. Maintenance and I was done with a swap fast. Great guy to have around was polite during the time of frustration and staff handled it well. From front desk to room service. Thank You

IMO Pool cold have been a little cleaner water. But as noticed people do have a heavy part in not being cleanly or respectful of thier own trash...Such as band aid in pool.

Really good hotel.

I wanted to pay at the property but shortly after I booked this months ago I had to put a deposit down for each room. The hotel contacted me directly to ask for this. I brought this to the attention of Booking.com to which they didn’t resolve the issue and I end up having to pay a deposit.. While it the trip worked out in the end , this may be the last time I use Booking.com. So far I’ve been able to get the good service out of Orbitz.

Location was excellent. Breakfast was good, we like hot eggs & toast,,choices for drinks. Cereal & other options also good. Liked pancakes better than waffles & definitely cleaner. Meal staff was very noce & helpful. The lobby is weird with 2 desks and no seating or comfortable area to wait. Very bare. Staff was hit or miss, sometimes friendly sometimes ignored us.

A guy in the back came out, manager maybe, not friendly at all. Talked to staff but seemed to be not bothered at all with guests/didn’t want to be in lobby at all. Seating in lobby would be nice. Maybe a water cooler/jug of ice water with cups.it’s just not that welcoming.

Wonderful stay. The check in process was quick and easy. The 3 different staff we saw at the front desk during our stay were all pleasant, courteous and helpful. The request we asked for when booking was granted (room on the top floor). And the room was spotless, so clean! The beds and pillows were comfortable and we had such a sound night's sleep. It was quiet, we heard no noise from the other guests. The breakfast was very nice with lots of great options and the staff that ran the breakfast were also courteous and helpful. 10 out of 10, would highly recommend!

Location was perfect. Hotel had everything we needed. Cleanest Hotel we've ever stayed at. Extremely quiet considering all the children staying there. Breakfast buffet was outstanding. Patrick the Hotel Manager was extremely friendly as were MOST of the front desk workers.

There was only 1 Front Dest Woman who is not very Friendly during 4pm sharp check in. Needs to work on her custom service skills. Customer Service 101. Good morning. Good afternoon. Have a great day. If you need anything just let us know. Instead she was a sour puss.

Fantastic location right on the beach! Big, spacious room with all amenities you need for a beach trip.

The ocean view is great but it is a shame that there is a parking lot between the hotel and the beach. The view was also impeded by the top railing on the balcony, which lines up perfectly with eye height when you sit down. And the breakfast could do with a few more options but a bigger issue was the limited breakfast area which got extremely crowded at times and resulted in people standing and eating and making it difficult to even get to the buffet.

The room was large with great beds and furniture.The bathroom was large and had plenty of towels. We also liked the pod coffee machine. The breakfast was fantastic and everyone was smiling. The only issue we had was the street noise. We would stay the next time away from the street. The patio doors do not seal very well. Great hotel!!

Location. We were over the breakfast area and they were sliding chairs etc. I will call the motel the next time we book so we can get on the other side of road and breakfast area.

Comfortable beds and good location. Easy access to the beach. Good breakfast.

The lighting is the room is horrible. There are two small lamps by the bed and one light by the door. It was raining and overcast, so no decent light from the window. Also, it turned cold and the heater was very noisy. It made it hard to sleep.
