Great stay.

Great hotel and was very affordable (we went during the off season). We had a dune view balcony but you could still sometimes see part of the water so that was a plus. Beach access right from the parking lot. Breakfast was AWESOME. One of the best continental breakfasts I’ve had and the staff was very nice.

We had a wonderful time. This hotel is old but very clean. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was basic but had a nice variety. Kitchen staff was very attentive. The dining room was also very clean. We will definitely go back. We stayed in an oceanfront room with a beautiful view.

The staff was very friendly. We arrived when they were finishing upgrades we never a single tool. The updates in the rooms were nice, room were clean and the Dove shampoo, conditioner and body wash was a plus the hotel being located directly behind the hotel was a bonus as well although it was too cold but we enjoyed the view of the ocean from the balcony. The breakfast was delicious The Blue Moon bar and grill was about 5 minutes from the hotel their food was phenomenal as well as the atmosphere We would definitely come back here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Not bad

We had no hot water in the bathroom. It was lukewarm at best. Also, there was sand on the bathroom floor. This was there when we checked in so it wasn’t from us. Elevators are super slow
