Really loved the space available inside of our room. Incredibly spacious in our king studio with a full kitchen and full sized fridge. My wife and I loved being able to take a walk to Chad’s for brunch and later on a walk just across the street to walk to the beach and pier. The staff was very communicative the whole time via text with me and very flexible with my late check in also. Cleanliness inside of our room and in the common areas as well. My wife and I cannot wait to go back again and stay at this hotel, will definitely be our go to hotel from now on!

Upon checking in, I was told I would be charged $58 "restore fee", which was not mentioned when I booked the room on Expedia. There was a coffee machine in the room, but there was no coffee powder. There was no tissue box or tissue paper in the room.

no housekeeping which i asked for twice, floors & sofa were dirty with dog hair. Had to walk to front desk several times to get toilet paper, towels, bedding to change bed sheets. Front desk personnel were nice but overworked, overwhelmed, always people awaiting to be attended. Sad situation.

It was so close to the beach we could walk to the beach, shopping, and dining. That was great. What I didn't like was that there was never anyone at the desk. No one was there to check us in or check us out. And there didn't seem to be a phone number we could call for help - I always got voicemail. They said to text but the response was not until the next day or 12 hours later. But if you don't need anything it is a nice place and we all felt safe

Liked: Cleanliness
We loved the room and the location. That being said, there were lots of little annoyances during our stay. First, figuring out how/where to check in was a nightmare. Turns out that this property and two other are run out of the Villa Rosa Inn. This is not marked clearly at all, and I wandered around for 20 minutes until I met another guest who went through the same deal. The fridge was condensing water, the outdoor trash hadn’t been picked up, they texted me frequently asking about the room but never responded when I replied. Nice place, nice people, they just seem understaffed or something.

We loved the location. But checking in is not on the property. But across the street with no clue as to what building that may be. Also one window did not have a curtain. Had to use a towel to block out the lights at night.

The Manager of this hotel is absolutely horrible. I made a mistake on my booking, and Tia the- manager was abhorrent to talk to, very condescending and badgering with no empathy (and I'm the customer). I truly feel sorry for the staff that has to work under this lady.

First time there. I requested a room for 5 people which would include two queen beds and 1 king bed. I was placed in a different room that I didn’t request. The front desk was able to give me just a small refund. It was over priced for just having two queen beds.
