The hotel needs some TLC. All of the lounge chairs at the pool were broken and everything just felt old. The staff were all very friendly and the area is gorgeous.

Ill

I’ve wanted to stay here for years. On my college senior’s last spring break my husband surprised us with an extra day. Room seemed ok, we went out to dinner. Upon returning, the neighbors above and next to us partied until around 5-6 am. That’s when we heard the loud barfing, bathroom experiences and yelling. Then our toilet began gurgling and exploding feces. We could not use it or the water or shower. House keeping came at 8 am with a do not disturb on our door. We were exhausted and sent them away. Noticed a man in rubber gloves in the room next to us when leaving. Had to use the lobby bathroom to wash our faces and use the bathroom. Was told nothing could be done since it was through a third party booking. After a whole day of no sleep and feeling disgusting the front desk comped us a sweatshirt and a towel with their branding. Will never wear it. Don’t stay here and never use hotels.com. 374.00 was definitely not worth it. Book through the hotel or in this case…don’t! Horrible ending to trying to spend an extra day. Worst hotel I’ve been to and I’m 50.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Rooms were nice, spacious, & clean fire place in the room was really nice. Odd thing was the shower only had one door not sure if thats on purpose but usually there are 2 sliding doors. Also disliked that it only has vallet parking for $32 a day & they dont automatically help you take your luggage to the room. Some of the rooms are a little walk away from the main entrance. I feel this was over priced for the quality. I won't stay here again.

It’s very much a motel… our room was very dated and smelled moldy. if you get the room for $150 it may be worth it for the ocean being next door, but 400/night is outrageous!!! Would not recommend

Skip Chad's. Go to Jeanine's

The hotel, overall, was wonderful. The location was perfect , the staff was friendly, and the facility was clean. The one negative was the on location restaurant, Chads. We used to go there when it was Sambos and we loved it. When we went to Chad's, the serving staff was so unattentive. We were skipped over several times, so that the staff could help other folks who arrived later. The person next to me was complaining about the quality of his breakfast and the rest of the folks didn't have food and looked like they had been waiting for a while. The only good thing about it, was that it forced us to walk a couple of blocks to Jeanine's, a wonderful breakfast spot.
