Great location on the beach. All rooms are oceanfront but not Oceanview. Get a third floor room for a guaranteed Oceanview. Useful kitchen, comfortable bed.

The rooms are conveniently located, with quick access to the beach. And there is an outside shower for people to use when they come back from the beach. I did not use the pool, so I can’t comment on that. The rooms were clean, but some of the fixtures, like the bathroom, were outdated.

Our room was a little outdated but super clean. The balcony on the third floor had an outstanding view of the ocean. Definitely worth the trip.

We were right on the beach for only around 200! The hot tub was nice and the views and walks were easy access. The rooms are well equipped for a fun stay and will definitely go again

Perfect beach getaway room—- clean, with plenty of room. On the 3rd floor with a private balcony, I enjoyed the view of the beach, sand dunes, ocean, and sunrise with my morning cup of coffee. Great way to start the day!

Location, location, location . Room was nice. Kitchenette was very convenient. But the highlight was stepping out and being at the beach in under a minute. We were on a road trip and it was my son's favorite stop.

Arrived, had to request three times for the room to be cleaned AGAIN! Beds were cleaned. Dressers were filthy! Bathroom was disgusting. What's so hard about cleaners, cleaning? Outside area had not been swept. Walkway to ocean deck was covered for three days!! (Finally an employee shoveled it clean..) Outdoor pool already shutdown & covered with pool tarp. Why? Been going to this hotel several years, worse we've ever seen it. So very sad.

Just steps away from the beach. Even my elderly mother with hip issues was able to get out on the beach. Room was nice. Having a kitchen is such a plus. Indoor pool was awesome, but the outdoor pool didn’t even look like it was being attempted to get open. It was memorial weekend… would’ve been the cherry on top if we had that access.

This is an older hotel, situated in the dunes on the beach. Rooms are spacious but dated, as would be expected. View is nice, pool is inoperable.

Perfect stay..lovely people and place. As soon as I arrived, I saw dolphins, beach bunnies, and a ton of birds. Hotel was extreme topnotch oceanfront. My favorite part was that this hotel is run efficiently with in a minimalist way that does not add to the heavy consumption and waste going on all around. Beautiful very quiet peaceful place and I hope to again and again.

It was clean. Centrally located. Pools were closed. Interior was clean but exterior balcony had lots of bird poop on railings. Just not sanitary. A very 1960s/1970s feel.
