patio area

broken window

lack of heat

Charming patio area for relaxation.

The hotel experience was extremely disappointing and frustrating. Our assigned room had a broken window and inadequate heat, leaving us freezing during our entire stay. Despite reporting the issues to management, no maintenance was ever provided. To make matters worse, the smoke alarm kept going off every 15 minutes during the night, adding to our discomfort.

maintenance problems

The location was great for walking to the beach and finding food options. I found a nice spot nearby for breakfast called PLANK, which had a great weekend brunch.

I had some issues with the cleanliness of the room, and there were some unexpected maintenance problems. It was also a bit cold in the room during my stay.

Perfect beach access with cozy ambiance

I had a wonderful stay at this property! The location is right across from the beach, which allowed easy access for morning walks along the shore. My room had charming decor and a comfortable bed, ensuring I got plenty of restful sleep. Additionally, there are ample dining options nearby which made meal choices super convenient. One improvement would be to have a few more kitchen utensils available for those wanting to cook.

The best part was the AMAAAZING location right across from the beach! Just love waking up and going straight to the ocean. Only downside? The noise insulation could use some work. Overall, a lovely stay! 🌊

loud street noise

The stay was nice overall. the kitchenette was super handy and I loved relaxing by the pool each evening. Even with beach access just a short walk away, I wish the coffee maker had cups for my morning brew. Just so ya know, the noise from the nearby street can get a bit loud at night. 🏖️
