I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms definitely need upgrades, with some chipping paint and a general rundown feel. While the location was beautiful and peaceful, the service left a lot to be desired, as the staff was quite rude. Also, the breakfast options were limited and could use some improvement. Overall, there are some pros and cons to consider.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location is fantastic, right by the beach, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway. However, the room I had was a bit of a letdown. It was outdated and had some issues like wet carpet and roaches, which I definitely did not expect. The service was decent but not particularly memorable. Overall, it's a mixed bag – great location but the room needs significant improvements.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was excellent, right on the beach and convenient to various attractions. My room had a beautiful beachfront view and basic cooking amenities, but it was marred by a horrible smell and some broken lights. The service was inconsistent; while they were accommodating with a refund, some staff members weren't very friendly. Overall, it offered decent value, but improvements are needed in certain areas.

The staff was courteous, but some interaction felt rushed. While the facilities, particularly the pool, were decent, the overall experience was not ideal given the state of the rooms and service quality.

I had an enjoyable stay overall, with some highlights being the responsive service and convenient location. However, the rooms had a few issues like humidity and strange smells.

I had a somewhat mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, it’s right on the beach and not overly crowded, which was fantastic for relaxing. The rooms did come with a small kitchen, but honestly, they didn’t meet my expectations for the price I paid. The service was friendly, but there were some hiccups with basic supplies like toiletries. Overall, it’s a decent place but could use some improvements.

The hotel is conveniently located right in front of the beach, which made for a relaxing stay. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, even switching our room when we had an issue.

The hotel has a great location, with easy access to the beach and Pier Park just minutes away. The rooms are spacious and much improved, equipped with a functioning stove that made cooking convenient. However, the decor is quite outdated and could use some renovation, and the service felt a bit cold at times. Overall, it’s a solid option for those looking for a clean and comfortable place to stay near the ocean, but expect some flaws.
