Perfect location. Building we were in is definitely older and could use some updates and increased cleanliness but overall this is a great spot and staff were very helpful!

This property is right on the beach, which is convenient to catch an early morning sunrise. It is old and dated, but well-maintained. I would stay here again.

My first experience with the staff was at the front desk, very friendly, very knowledgeable about the hotel explained to us about the location of all amenities and told us if we had any other questions feel free to come back. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back.

The hotel
Is an older hotel that has been renovated. We loved the unique set up of the two-queens Oceanview room. It was almost like having two separate bedrooms. The staff is really nice and helpful and the housekeeping girl was fantastic. Room was clean and new towels were provided daily. The trim had some essentials like dishes etc.. No microwave and a very small fridge. It was perfect for us.

Not a bad overall stay. They are trying to update alot of areas as it seems. The stairwells and the entrances to buildings have been updated. We stayed in building G and overall it was OK. It's is very much dated and can absolutely use a facelift. Again, some parts have been updated and others not touched. It could've also been much more clean. The rooms duvet cover was a mess with small stains as well as behind the beds. I knew o wasn't staying at the Ritz, but it could've been better cared for. As for amenities they allow you to use 3 or 4 pools throughout their properties. Parking is tough even with all the spots they have. I would probably stay again at the right price, but would prefer a larger unit.

The location is good as it was right on the beach with easy access to the water. The pool was open until 10pm but there was no lighting. The curtains and the bathtub in the room were disgustingly dirty. The front desk staff was very helpful and nice. Overall I would not choose to stay here again.
