We were put in the same room last year that had a smell problem and was damp. This year it didnt smell and wasn't damp, however we did find some black mold/mildew in the doorway between rooms. Otherwise was a decent room with clean towels. The liquid soap is a bit too close to water in consistency but wasn't a deal killer. Shower pressure okay. The door was somewhat difficult to get open and closed, and didnt seal the outside sounds completely. Staff were all very friendly and helpful where needed. All I needed was new towels. Price for weekday stays seems unfair though, but the proximity to the beach is nice with the views, plus a hottub. It also helps that the other guests were quite friendly.

The property isn't fancy but it's good for the price. The rooms are small but efficient. The breakfast is good, just watch for the ants around the cereal containers.

Keep shopping way better options around

Its way overpriced. Hotel is old and needs renovation in a bad way. Beds are like sleeping on a rock wore out hard mattress. Staff was nice and breakfast ladies were awesome. I would just say do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else. There are several newer hotels for same if not lower prices. I would not stay here again.

Pictures are very misleading. The pool area is ok. The room is tiny, old and filthy. The thick layer of dust in the light fixtures, the dirty bathroom floor, small refrigerator was old and rusty. The only clean room if you ask, including changing towels. Parking is awful. Would not stay there again.

Its an older property so the rooms weren't updated but they were clean. The staff was great. Its very budget friendly with a good hot breakfast, and a good pool and bar area. The beach is just across the street so you can carry your stuff easily.

Close to the beach and pleasure pier. I did like others smoking outside the rooms. Breakfast was good but you had to go back to your room or sit in the court yard to eat it.

Horrible experience and I have photos to show! Also, if you have kids, please do not bring them to this hotel, more like a ran down motel, you will see topless women and the staff thinks it’s OK. Also, the lady serving breakfast are rude as heck. Rooms are so dirty. It’s disgusting.

It is one of the worst hotel experiences I have ever experienced in my life and it's not even a hotel it's literally a run down motel with no room service small dirty rooms the bathroom is disgusting the pool is the only rewards aspect but even still it was disgusting the water has a green tint to it and there is just tiny pieces of seaweed bc people come from the beach to swim in the pool and they probably put so much chorline in the water I remember going to sleep and my eyes were stinging for 600 dollars for two nights for it to be that terrible I would rather live in a wooden shack on the beach with all essentials then book here PSA ANYONE THAT IS PLANNING ON STAYING HERE DONT ITS NOT WORTH IT!!!!
