The room was clean, the beds were decent. The breakfast was very underwhelming, and apparently, it will be even worse starting 11/11. Though I didn't expect an ocean view because I didn't pay for it, I did not expect our patio to just back up into a bunch of air conditioners running from the building inches from the patio. The worst was that our keys were turned off by 10:30, when check out is not until 11:00. My kid was walking the beach and couldn't get back in with their key. Thankfully I didn't go with them or we would have both been locked out. At least give us the full amount of time in our room.

Liked: Cleanliness
The place was completely lacking in ambiance. Stark. The "lobby" consisted of two chairs. Our view was the parking lot of the motor inn....not a hotel, more a large motel. Our one night ended up costing around $460. Breakfast was fair. Good selection but "instant" food. Too crowded to find a seat. If there were any grounds or ocean view, we never saw it. The room was clean and the palm tree scene on the wall behind the bed was the best part.

The room was small, bathroom was small but it met our needs. We were in town to attend a wedding and had some time before and after. This hotel was close enough to walk to the beach, pier, & State Street for some look-e-loo window shopping & easy access to restaurants too.

Christian at the front desk and the breakfast team were great! Room was clean but unfortunately had a musty smell, but perhaps that comes with being so close to the ocean.

My check in experience was a bit problematic. We stayed in room 218. The balcony view was the trash which was open so it had a bad smell. The room was pretty nice. The bed was comfortable.
