The hotel is directly on beach with two easy access boardwalks. The staff in the hotel is friendly. The Ocean Grill adjoins it with great drinks and food although the bar staff is neither friendly or attentive to customers, whether busy or not.

Let’s start with. It is currently under construction. Second floor should not be considered “ocean view “ there is a roof obstruction where the seagulls hang out. You can easily hear people come in and out the building. Thee phone did not work. There were no pillows in the room. They advised they don’t have enough. This trip was to relax and sleep well and that did not happen.The pool area needs some love. The best thing about this place was the staff and access to the beach. Staff was pleasant in passing and at the front desk.

The TV in the room sucked, only played 3 channels if that which included the news, some Spanish channels and the Christian channel, wouldn't work for any other channels. The shower had zero water pressure. Honestly too much money spent for those issues.

Hotel staff extremely helpful and friendly. The rooms are bright and cheerful with very comfortable beds and thoughtful amenities. Perfect ocean views. I would have liked better sitting options- the sleeper couch was uncomfortable for sitting It’s a great room, but cozy - fine if you are planning to spend most of your time out and about.
