"The property was pretty clean, I was able to sweep up a decent amount that was missed but this is a pet friendly home so understandable. Only big complaint was the keurig didn’t work and the sliders were super difficult to shut from the outside (no not because they hadn’t been used, they are older and didn’t have a good handle on the outside. Otherwise pretty good!"

Hotel Alice At Atlantic Beach

Hotel Alice At Atlantic Beach

10/10 Excellent
"The first room they gave us had black ( mold? Water damage?) all over the ceiling, which I thought was unacceptable for a $250 room rate. I called the front desk, though, and she gave us another room down the hall… which was lovely. We went down to the bar later for some wine and had a wonderful time. Would definitely stay here again."
