This place was pretty great. Comfy beds, large enough room,clean bathrooms,and perfect balcony for watching sunrise. We didn’t know they were redoing the pool so there was no pool/you had to exit around the building to get to the beach ( not a big deal/still super close) . When that pool goes in- we will be back!

Good little gem renovated indoors and amazing access to ocean. I docked a star bc it is going through outdoor renovation so takes a minute to figure out access to tiki and ocean. The onsite staff was great. I would reckon mmmend adding a few outdoor rinse locations to get sand off to not track into hotel.

The room was good and clean. The ac did mess up when we first got there, but the maintenance guy was on top of it. Fixed within the hour. Beach view was great. Within walking or close driving distance of some good eats. The one downside for me, was the bottom bed on the bunk beds was a little stiff to sleep on. The staff was super helpful, will stay again.

There was some construction on site and the staff absolutely went out of their way to accommodate us for any inconvenience. We were in walking distance of Uncle Vinny's Pizzeria which I would highly recommend. We had immediate access to a lovely Tiki Bar on an extended pier that was maybe 100 feet from the breaking waves. We will be returning to this hotel in the future for sure!

What a find. This place was so clean, updated, stylish, and fabulously priced for the location. We paid 98 (110 with fees) for ocean front, beautifully decorated hotel room with pool, tiki bar, and on site restaurant that was also newly remodeled and gorgeous. 10/10. Will be back!

The staff were all very friendly. The lobby smelled like orange blossoms which was so nice and really added to the ambience. They were doing some construction at the property to build a new pool facility but it didn't negatively affect our stay.
