8.0 Very good
Nightly charge of $10.00 to park your car is unacceptable to me. I won’t stay there again.
A
10.0 Wonderful
Pros:The private beach, the pool, the service
Cons:Nothing!
A
4.2 Mediocre
Pros:Location was great- so nice to be able to go between beach and hotel all day without hassle of driving or a long walk
Cons:The worst matressses is all time. We actually changed rooms after the first night hoping our mattress was just a lemon but the bed in the second room was nearly just as bad. Hotel staff said they were all about the same. Bad!!! We liked the hotel but will never return because of those horrible beds
S
6.2 Okay
Pros:Beachfront, staff friendly on beach and in restaurant. Complimentary breakfast was very good. However the AC stopped working around 5am and was not fixed until 9 pm that evening. No one seemed to know when it would be repaired. Couldn't open windows because no screens.. I asked 2 different desk clerks if they would offer any type of compensation for this issue. Both of them promised to speak with the manager and get back in touch. I left both phone and email contact info. Never heard from anyone.Wont recommend or stay there again.
A
6.8 Okay
Cons:The WiFi never worked in our room and there was a frequent rattle in the wall which was especially annoying at night. They also really need towel rods in the bathroom and hooks for beach towels and bathing suits...
A
10.0 Wonderful
Pros:Charming facilities and excellent restaurant. Perfect beachfront.
A
9.1 Wonderful
Pros:Location.
Cons:It's a 50ish year old hotel. Kinda feels like it. Needs a face lift and overhaul. Heard vibrations in the walls while takin a shower. Etc. just an old place. Still good though.
A
9.4 Wonderful
Pros:Accommodations were amazing, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and the extras like a wonderful breakfast and fantastic hot tub really added a lot.
Cons:The room wasn't cheap, even on a cheap night. The breakfast, hotel facilities, etc--are all top notch, but certainly are things you noticeably pay for in your room cost. I highly recommend a stay here if planning to take advantage of all of these to the fullest--it then is certainly worth the room cost.
A
6.3 Okay
Pros:Location. Amenities.
Cons:Price. VERY expensive for the value. I have paid $200 less a night for way better hotels. But this is the only place on the beach basically so they can jack up the rates and get away with it.
