Very Relaxing Weekend!
Our stay was really nice here - staff, room, ocean view from our balcony, beach time, restaurant and tiki bar steps outside the room on the pier were perfect! Such a wonderful weekend getaway!! Delicious dinner nearby at Uncle Vinny's Pizzeria, followed by dessert at Pop's Diner. Next morning, Island Bagels was a treat! Would definitely go back and stay here again.

Cute refurbished hotel with local restaurants and bars close by. There’s one on the property and more about half a mile down the road. The reception team were all so nice and the hotel remodel is so cute. We enjoyed the tiki bar at sunset and beach access was great! It was a great overnight stay, just wish it was longer.

4/10 Fair

The pictures online show a clean, brightly colored beautiful updated hotel room. Upon arriving we were met with a dirty floor, shower shelf that is barely hanging on and caulking to patch up places. They left a tiny broom in the room that we used to sweep the floors. The bathroom floor alone was filthy and visibly looks like it hasn't been mopped in a while. A little sand is understandable, being that we're at the beach, but it was dirt not sand. We were on the second floor; it's more of a dune view instead of ocean view with a small balcony and two plastic chairs. The lobby looks decents but the room was not worth over $230 for one night.
