Easy access to the beach, and a short walk to the Pier and attractions. The pool could have been cleaner and our shower did not work properly, but overall for the price and convenience we were satisfied.

The property was in good shape and our room had vaulted wood ceilings. It was a very comfortable room in atmosphere and the bed and pillows were very comfortable! The decor and features in the room are dated but well-kept. The balcony was nice and had a table and two chairs that we enjoyed. We would stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay! Nice staff, nice amenities too! Property is a bit out of date, could use a facelift. But it had everything wr needed to be comfortable. Kitchenette was clean and equipped with what we needed. Pool could also use some more regular cleaning but people do go back n forth from the beach and pool. Would stay again

Felt like I was staying at my great grandparents - needs remodeling desperately. Liked the staff and service of the hotel but does not match up with the facility. We rented 2 rooms in horizon building. Too small. Big bummer for the $$$$.

Clean but dated room, nice balcony views
Room was clean, alittle dated, old style fixtures and older chairs that were pretty worn out. Not a deal breaker. Beds were decent. Balcony was very nice with ocean view. Parking was challenging, and the stairs to the upper levels were worn and narrow, not helpful when carrying luggage. Beach was steps from the hotel which was nice.

The room was fine and it served its purpose. That said I felt a little misled by the hotel's promotional information. This isn't "a hotel" with all the amenities that are listed. This is a group of properties all owned by the same company. You have no idea when booking which building you will be in (not all of which are on the beach, some are across the street). The rooms are very dated, cleanish, and like I said it was fine. But very overpriced for what you are getting.

We really enjoyed our stay, and I would recommend it. My only critique would be that our room wasn't ready on time, however, they did let us park and use the pool while we waited.

No umbrella’s at pool’s and not available to rent local. Not a real place and have a cup of coffee on the property, only in the tight front desk area. Parking can be an issue at times. The staff that assisted with our luggage since there were no elevators were the best! Don’t go near OOB during the holiday times, it’s a crowded zoo.
