The restaurant in the lobby was under construction so there weren’t any food options. Our room was decent. The bathroom was so tiny I could barely fit in it to shower… that was unfortunate. The room had an extremely bad mold smell in it. Every time we would open the door to our room we were greeted with a damp, moldy odor. There was a nice view! Pool had huge spiders in it and my husband had to clean them out as the kids were too scared to swim with them in it.

Refresh and Reset!!
The hotel was going through major renovations, which I knew so all was good. Loved the ability to have beach chairs and umbrellas set up, along with towels(inlcuded with the resort fee.) Austin at the Tiki Bar was crazy fun!!!! Being charged $25 to check in early is NOT COOL at all!! It was super quiet at the hotel and very low occupancy, the room was ready yet they still charged me $25 to check in early:( That felt very "nickel and dime". Otherwise, LOVED IT!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Crystal Coast Oceanfront girl. Direct access to the beach, I love that they have beach chairs & umbrellas for their guests. The sitting area outside is very nice & the tiki bar gives a little something special to the vibe. Nice friendly staff & clean rooms. Would stay here soon.

The property was run down and desperately in need of a remodel and repair. Do not trust the pictures online they are definitely touched up and not accurate of the multiple rooms our party occupied. The ceiling in the shower had mold on it as well as the wall between the bed and window in plain view. The general feel of the room seemed to be just paint over all the problem areas and pretend they don’t exist. The worst part was the horrendously old mattress that had craters on each side from people sleeping. This was on top of an already very firm mattress for our liking which made sleeping at night very hard and we got very poor sleep. The only nice thing about this place is the beach access and the pool and sandy sitting area. It was quite nice to sit out there and enjoy the weather. If this place could renovate and clean up the view and setting would be worth it to stay here. But until that happens this is essentially a cheap motel with a view.

This upgraded hotel is now much nicer than it was in the past. The rooms are spacious and attractive. Yes, the toilet-shower room is small, but the shower itself is plenty large, so no problem. The new ceramic floors are very nice, and the little balconies overlooking the ocean have new, comfortable furniture. The too-small staff is doing a fine job with the resources they've got. The one real negative is that there is nowhere to eat without driving miles and miles. There is a large, attractive dinning room off the lobby with a sign that a restaurant is "coming soon." There are even ketchup and mustard containers on each table as if "soon" means tomorrow. Well, they've been saying "coming soon" since at least early June, if not before, and one employee muttered to us that "soon" now means sometime in 2025! Why don't they just state the truth on the sign in the lobby and on their website? The biggest problem is breakfast, of course. Even the cheaper chain hotels are offering pretty good breakfasts these days, often with very little space in which to serve it. We'd come back to this hotel but only when and if a breakfast restaurant actually exists.

Nice small oceanfront hotel with beach and pool. Chairs and umbrellas and towels are a nice amenity. Restaurant was under so that would have made it a bit better to have the food available. Very quiet surrounded by homes, no commercial buildings near by at all Price was good. People were very pleasant Bathroom was too small but that’s about all I could really find substandard
