I stayed here for two nights in a work trip. Check in was fine and the man checking me in was…read morenice and seemed to really love his job. The hotel is VERY clean and it had a very non corporate feel about it. Breakfast had many options so I don't know why the reviews were stating that breakfast was limited. It wasn't fresh, made to order, but there were definitely a lot of choices. The room itself was large and the bed was great. I didn't enjoy the TV options. The channel list was off with the channels and they didn't have streaming options. The living room area was very dark and drab. I enjoy a room with natural lighting. Pool was closed and it was 78 degrees so that was disappointing. There is no fitness center, either. All in all, clean, well priced nice place to stay.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel when we recently visited family in the area. I had just…read moresigned up for the Hilton honors rewards program and it was my first time utilizing some of the perks. Communication was fantastic. Was able to check on my reservation through the Hilton Honors app and was able to check in through the app and even get a digital key. I did not have to go to the front desk at all. We had a room with two beds that faced the water. It was very nice. It was not over-the-top fancy, but was definitely comfortable. We took advantage of the free hot breakfast buffet the two mornings that we were there. I enjoyed the waffle that my husband made me with the waffle maker. All of the usual breakfast buffet items were there as well. Sausage, bacon, muffins, eggs, etc. The hotel lobby is very nice and the one time I did ask the front desk employee a question she was very helpful. If you are looking for a hotel that is centrally located, with very nice water views, and some nice included benefits, such as the hot breakfast buffet, you should definitely consider this hotel.

Tom was super nice upon arrival and seemed genuinely happy to have us. He was even worried we had an upstairs unit because we have dogs with us. (Which felt so great after the two days we've had). This is the second time we've stayed here and both times the rooms have exceeded our expectations. Super clean & smells wonderful. The layout of the rooms are great & very spacious. Every time we have family members in town, we recommend they stay here! It's the perfect location for vacationers, multiple restaurants walking distance & the view of all the boats is always a treat. I highly recommend booking here

I spilled something on the bed so I pulled the sheets up from the mattress. When I came back later they just laid the sheets and blanket back down. I again had to go to the desk and ask for service. Went to the pool and some substance was floating in the corner. It looked like vomit. I alerted the staff and they said it was just pollen and suntan lotion. Pollen in late July? Was informed by other guest that 2 days prior someone had been vomiting in the pool and they never cleaned it. A guy came out with a paper towel and skimmed the water but it is very much still there.

(This visit was made during the times of Covidious. When things return to a look of normality -…read moreyour experience likely will vary.) It's a bizarre time to be reviewing most things because Covid has obviously thrown off the "normal" into many shades of grey. With that said, take this one with a grain of salt as it's only a brief snapshot in time for how things are now. In another month or two, who knows? Let's start with the good: The location to the beach couldn't be any better. Just a short walk and you're there. The hotel was sold out or near it every night we were there yet the beach area directly across the street was never busy. The same as last year with seeing the same families and people every day more or less set up in the same spot very spread out from each other. All Covidly perfect. Not so good: Hilton Honors benefits at check in are still a no here, just like last year. The beds are extremely squeaky. Any sitting/moving = high pitched squeaking. The hotel is not following the new Hilton/Lysol cleaning protocol that started a few weeks ago. No stickers on the room doors or verbiage anywhere on property. I was told at check in that if you want your garbage taken to have it in the hallway early in the morning so that housekeeping could grab it and that the only way to get fresh towels or any bedding was to stop a housekeeper in the hall with your old stuff or bring your old stuff with you to the front desk since the hotel was running extremely low. Is the hotel's linen par really that low? Is the smell of that much garbage-food in the hallways overnight a good idea? Our room was dusty/sandy when we checked in and the a/c unit was filthy. No way were either cleaned thoroughly in a while. But since there was no daily housekeeping and with the hotel being sold out the day we checked in... If you want a hotel that has a great beach location that is out of the way and quiet, this is it. Past that, things were on the dirtier side in general and I question any place not following the new cleaning protocol. Time to give this one a rest for a bit.

It turned on but no adjustments. The rooms are quaint but a smidge outdated and the blanket had holes, but was otherwise tidy. All rooms look out onto the patio or the beach and it's a great view. The pool was nice and not cold. The hot tub was a smidge too warm for my liking but my babe loved it. They don't offer breakfast but do have coffee in the office in the morning. Directly off the patio is the boardwalk to the beach. Overall a great lil place to stay. We will be back.

And another complaint is the chairs they say are complimentary for the beach, most are broken. And majority of people claim them before you can get down on the beach, so I recommend bringing your own chairs.

Advice to management: teach your employees customer service please, they literally acted like they own the place and every customer was an inconvenience to their day.
