This property has a great location but the facility itself was equivalent to an old Motel 6. The rooms were old and rundown with carpets that appear to have been there since they built the building. The outside could use some updating or at least some paint. If they updated the floors to hardwood that could make a works of difference. It was disappointing to have such a bad room when there are such amazing views of the beach.

I stayed here this time last year for my birthday week and had a great stay. I had a room with a balcony with an ocean view. I could easily overlook the hotels shortcomings. I was excited to stay again this year again for my birthday week. However, this time I was given a room in the back of the hotel and it was sold to me as an “upgrade” with a couch and a microwave. But that was the trade off. There was no balcony, no ability to even leave the window open to get fresh air because anyone can break in (it faces a walkway). It was a dark, dingy, room that made me cry the moment I walked into it. I really hope that for all the money this hotel makes that some of the money could be spent towards renovating the property. I know the location is great, but I also spent a lot of money and specifically chose this hotel. The room can really make a difference in the stay. Staff were very nice-no complaints there. You guys are just doing the best you can with what you have.

Everything was conveniently located and the boardwalk was so much fun to people watch. Pool was warm, but lots of sand in it. (Understandable since its on the beach) There were dirty socks still in our room behind the curtains. This tells me the cleaning in the rooms arent worth a 5 star review. Overall the place is great, but nothing fancy.

We have been going to this property for over 20 years. The towels seemed not to be washed before they were in circulation. When dried off with them there was quite a few lint covering us. Also $37.50 for parking per day is quite high. We still love the property and location. We shall return! Staff is friendly and responsive!

The view from room 315 was beautiful from the balcony. With that said, we will not return to this hotel. Outdated is not an excuse for unclean and uncomfortable. The air conditioner is portable and was dirty and noisy. It sits on the floor in front of the sliding door to the balcony. Bathroom is awful- shower head came up to my chest and I had to bend backwards to wash my hair. Dirty and dusty all over. The bed was too low to the floor and all the bedding smelled of chlorine bleach and was rough to the touch. The pillow case did not fit the pillow. The paint touch ups were sloppy and gross. Just a disgusting place to have spent $900 for two nights. Never again.

You are right on the beach boardwalk with the Pacific Ocean. The staff are super friendly and helpful, from the front desk people to the maintenance people. Nothing but hospitality. Right next to two great places to eat as well so you don't have to go far to get a bite. Very reasonably priced also, considering the location.
