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.

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.

Check in was smooth. Our 4th floor room had a nice ocean view. Unfortunately the bed was not comfortable and there was only one night stand on one side of the king sized bed which is odd. The room always felt damp (our swim suits & towels never dried) - I guess there’s no getting rid of high humidity in a beachfront room, even w the a/c running. Overall it was just an okay experience for the price we paid. I don’t think we’ll stay at this property again.
