Rooms were clean. Nothing fancy but when I’m at the beach I am interested in a clean, comfortable place to sleep and a clean bathroom. This had all that.

Indoor pool was closed 3 of the 4 days. Maintenance for the outdoor pool was performed during its open hours so the pool could not be used for about an hour while he added chemicals and cleaned the pool. Seems that could be done when it’s closed. Wi-fi never worked. We had 3 rooms so there were a few small children. It would be nice to have a door latch out of the reach of small children. They have nothing on the inside but the door handle. For the amount of $ something beyond the minimum would make me feel better about spending that much.

I loved the contemporary look of the rooms and the color scheme. The staff was amazingly nice. The room was clean when we arrived and noise was very minimal even though steps from the restaurant, beach and pool.

The beds were extremely uncomfortable, very firm! The bathroom faucet did not have a filter so the water flow was all over the sink. The shampoo, conditioner and soap dispensers in the shower were empty. The hallway ice machine on 2nd floor did not work.There was no iron in the room. When iron requested it didn't work. I noticed a lot of condensation in the room even though AC was working probably I think.....

I liked the closeness of the beach. It was very convenient being so close to everything and the staff where very friendly. Overall we had a fantastic stay and I really enjoyed the hotel and beach

Its not necessarily that I didnt like it but $385 for each night is a bit steep with no complimentary breakfast but that's just my opinion.

The second room I got was good! I was very thankful for the staff accommodating me! The bed was extremely comfortable and the view was awesome! Staff was pleasant.

When I got there the room was just getting clean but they accommodated me and that was enough to make me happy. I parked on the side of the building and noticed someone had been messing with my car. I let the receptionist know. I parked my car near the cameras after that and had no issues. Should have known better, but I was not expecting to have people mess with my car either. SO FYI, park where your car is in camera view. I had no issues after that. I would have given it a 10 but because of my car issue I was a little paranoid but I was determined to have a little vacation and enjoy it.

The view of the beach is amazing. The rooms are very clean, comfortable and relaxing. We heard very little noise coming from the hallway or other rooms. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Will definitely look to stay here again.

Not the hotel's fault, but there were several guests that were smoking out on the balcony including our neighbor in the nonsmoking room. They were mostly smoking weed and burning incense. It was pretty annoying as it would waft up into our area, but it was easily kept out of our room. Again, not the hotel's fault, but they were definitely smoking inside the rooms too as it was very strong in the hallway.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating! My kids loved the bunk beds! Great location, the tiki bar and ocean grille are close by and delicious!

The pictures online need to be updated because the room we got was different than what I booked, but I was told everything was updated to the new style of room. (Still nice). Towel rack in bathroom was coming off the wall. I did inform the staff.

Excellent location -- walk out of the hotel onto the beach, dine at the Tiki Bar on the pier (excellent drinks and seafood), or jump in the pool. The staff was consistently helpful and friendly -- any setbacks were met with grace and understanding.

It's not a "full service" hotel -- no breakfast (although there are options in town) and the room is comfortable and practical. Our room didn't have working wifi the four days we stayed there (but the management gave us a discount at checkout).

Access to the beach was easy. The room was spacious and comfortable. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The couch was also comfortable.

Cleanliness: the rug could have been cleaner. The sink had no stopper. If I had dropped anything small in the sink it would have gone down the drain. The balcony should have a small table. The wifi was weak. The desk chair had no arms.
