Front desk staff/concierge was incredibly kind and helpful during our entire stay. We were there during the snowstorm and with no other food options open, the bartender served food and drinks to probably everyone staying that evening very quickly and with a smile on her face even though she was by herself. We got our food quickly and she was very attentive and friendly for having a packed bar. As far as the property you can’t beat the view. Hot tub and pool were heated and pleasant. Lobby and common areas as well as our room were very clean! The only room for improvement would be the bathroom in our particular room. The toilet seemed to run once in awhile which my husband fixed easily, and the shower water was warm but didn’t get as hot as we would have liked. Other than that everything was great!!

Most of the staff were friendly. Nice location with easy access to the beach. Restaurant on site was a little too spendy. Breakfast could offer some changes with their offerings. Room was clean. Outdoor pool and hot tub were nice. Overall good experience.

I live less than 30 miles away but never make time to get to the beach. You can't beat the prices in the winter months so I took a mini vacation. I had a wonderful time but the next time I do this, I will choose a different hotel. The sheets were scratchy and they do not understand the meaning of the word firm in relation to pillows. The mattresses are old as there are human sized dents on either side of the king bed I had. The hotel must be climate controlled with a window type unit to adjust your room. It was very warm and the window unit could not keep up to cool it. I had an amazing balcony and propped the door open and even with temps in the 40's and 50's it was very warm. This might be a good hotel for families with the lazy river pool but my room was directly above the waterfall which runs 24/7 and drowns out any other sound around, including the sound of the surf which is what I came for. The bathroom was the smallest I've seen. I was fighting the toilet for space when I was doing my hair and makeup. The staff was friendly and helpful when I asked for something but overall, for a traveler who just wants to enjoy the beach for a couple of days, this is not an option I can recommend.

Stopped in a few days before Thanksgiving. Pretty area, lots of construction on the road in front hotel. Nice place but the pool was soooo gross. Nasty. The spa was broken so we didn't get to use it at all. The room was clean and comfortable. Parking was convienent but cost 25 a day I think. Pretty excessive and a price gouge. Probably would not stay there again because of the pool PSTD.
