I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, just steps away from the beach, with amazing ocean views right from my room. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, which made my experience even better. However, I did find that the room was a bit noisy at times, and the breakfast options could definitely use some improvement. Overall, I felt it was a great value for money considering the amenities and comfort provided.

The hotel has a great location right on the beach, making it easy to access restaurants and the boardwalk. The staff was incredibly nice and accommodating throughout my stay. However, I found the rooms to be a bit outdated and basic, especially given the price. Also, having breakfast at a separate venue was not ideal as there seemed to be a lack of options.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, with clean and comfortable surroundings right by the beach. The staff were incredibly friendly and made my experience enjoyable. However, the view from my room was not ideal as I overlooked an employee smoking area and a dumpster. For the price, it's a decent option, especially if you're looking for a budget-friendly spot near the beach.

The room was spacious and clean, but my view was partially blocked by the dumpster area, which wasn't very appealing.

The hotel is situated in a convenient location with plenty of parking and easy access to various restaurants and activities. However, the rooms felt a bit outdated and cramped, which was a downside. The service was top-notch, as the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly throughout my stay. I appreciated having a restaurant and tiki bar on the property, even though it faced a few challenges with breakfast availability.
