We liked the location, grounds, staff and facilities overall. The heated pool and free arcade was a big hit for our 9yo and the short walk to the beach boardwalk and restaurants was great. However, the room in the tower was outdated and below the level of quality we expected given the price. Sticky surfaces, questionable carpet cleanliness, broken patio door, barely usable kitchen, broken hot water, broken elevator…more “dorm” feeling than resort.

Everything was great, with the exception of the musty smell in the room. The smell never went away because each and every time you enter the room the musty smell is unmistakably pronounced. However, you’ll get “nose blind” to the smell the longer you are in the room. We were upgraded to the room we were in which looks recently renovated. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The hotel itself and the grounds looked clean and well maintained.

The room was filthy when we arrived. Black handprints all over the bath towels hanging in the shower area and dirty carpet and entry way with food strewn along the sidewalks. The place is tired and the location is good. Not worth the money if you are looking for nice clean accommodations.

It was a tropical atmosphere with smiling staff! Greeted warmly upon arrival. Offered water. Check in was smooth and I stayed in the 700 block of rooms on the ground level. Room was large with comfortable queen beds. Large bath with double sinks and a place to put my stuff. Small table with 2 chairs, double 3 drawer dressers. Very NICE! Outdoor area was beautiful and enjoyed my 3 nights there.

This is, easily, the worst experience of my life with a hotel. In fairness, I believe it was the app/site inflating the importance; do not believe the reviews. This was the first time I used them, as I was in a bind and needed something in the vicinity. It is a decent MOTEL. The staff is very friendly. Nothing else about the property is worth discussing and the rooms smell like…ammonia. (I am deleting the Hotels.com app immediately)
