The rooms don’t have beach view but you are right on the beach. The room and property is very clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Although there is parking it’s not always enough spots for all guests. You can use the meter parking next door and the hotel will give you a refund. They made it very easy.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Our room was absolutely spotless, and the staff could not be any nicer! Truly, a hidden gem!
We booked upgraded room with partial ocean view. Room 2020 faced the lifeguard station and a restaurant parking lot. NO ocean view at all.
Noisy room. Bathroom fan can not be turned off. TV didn’t work. Nice staff though. Good location

Clean and neat. DirecTV didn’t work for the 2 nights tho.
Had an amazing stay here! The staff was very friendly and helpful in making my time here the best experience in the area! I’ll definitely be back sooner than later for sure. Thank you for a great time!
The room was very clean, the front desk people friendly and amenities were great. The beach front patio was a great place to relax and the location was within walking distance to many food options.The only thing that would make this an even better experience was if house keeping did not knock on the door early in the morning (twice) even though the do not disturb sign was hanging on the knob. Otherwise, we would definitely stay here again.
Thank you Expedia for taking action on my complaint when we were in the 1st floor room with all the noise overhead. The Manager offered us a 2nd fl room the next morning due to your actions and made the stay much nicer.
We had such an amazing time here! The rooms are great, newly renovated and comfortable. The staff has been so friendly and accommodating, and you can’t beat that beach access. We will be back!
