    Outdated kitchenette
    Valerie L.

    The staff was friendly and the location was great, however I do not recommend staying there. It is under new ownership and recently underwent a renovation. Well, I fail to comprehend what was renovated: the electrical outlets wouldn't hold my charger (it literally fell right out of the outlet), everything was old and outdated, the lock to our room was loose, bathroom racks were rusted, cigarette burns on the tub, etc.

    Dirt on a towel used to clean kitchen floor ( no sponges provided)

    2 bedroom suite w pullout uncomfortable couch. Beds were decent but soft . Kitchen only had two pans . We knew from experience to bring our own . Silverwear wasn't even in tray just thrown in cupboard . Some plates . Floor dirty . I get they couldn't clean while were there but how about before?? They spray it heavy w air spray . Deck was nice, a few people smoking weed and plenty smoking cigarettes. It's like they gave up here . For all rye money made -350/nt- fix the place a little?!!

    What a complete $hi#hole. Dirty dirty dirty. Every tiny room is disgusting. We paid over 800 for three nights and I can not believe how they can get away with charging this much for such a seedy place. It was truly a shocking surprise and we have to get a refund, can't stay here!!! Carpets are so bad I would never walk on them barefoot. Couch just as bad. Sliding door and windows look as if they have never been cleaned! Just so so disappointed. Do yourself a big favor and DO NOT STAY HERE. It looks nothing like the pictures the company posts.

    The fake chandellar only works when you shut the door! Electric problem!!

    Beware!! This place is a Shipwreck!! Carpet stained The place smell so nasty.Also black mold around the bathroom sink, the tile in the bathroom is all black, the fake chandellar wouldnt go on only when you shut the door it went on. Nasty Place defintly not like the pictures on the web site. Save your money and go elsewhere

    Great Customer Service, close to the beach, nice views, reasonable price. The decks are nice to relax on, after a day at the beach. Rooms have kitchens with utensils you may need to cook a meal or snack, free ice, plenty of towels, friendly staff..loved it!!

    This is the most disgusting place I've ever stayed looks nothing like the trip advisor page. A true disappointment to this location.

    This place is absolutely disgusting. The carpeted stairs to our room were stain covered and nasty. It's smelled like actual shit. The pictures online where absolutely beautiful and then I got here after booking it and I thought my room was a joke. Stains on the pillows and pillow cases. Hair in the shower and on the walls. These people don't know how to clean. Took my son to the pool for some fresh air and the pool was so disgusting, nasty stuff was floating you could see the top layer of the pool but not the bottom. So hard telling my six year old that he couldn't go swimming in the pool. The fact people pay money to stay here is appalling.

    Beautiful flowers

    Big hotel. 2 pools, bbq area, gorgeous sun deck. Rooms are large and clean. Close to the beach and all shops and restaurants. Coffee shop right across the street. Plenty of parking.

I had to leave a message and got a call back 2 days later. I was excited to book a cottage for August of 2026 for our family vacation and paid the deposit. The next day I received an email that my reservation was canceled and deposit returned. I called to find out what happened and was told that Erica, the assistant manager would get back to me the next day. Less than an hour later I got an email from Erica saying that my reservation was booked by mistake and that the cottages were promised to other people by previous ownership and that they could only rent to us if someone canceled. What a terrible way to run a business! If those cottages weren't available then why weren't they marked as already reserved? Why send out an email to book now if there is nothing left to book? Why take my money in good faith when what I booked wasn't available? When I finally got a phone call back, she was rude and completely condescending about their mistake. My family was planning this vacation from out of state, what if we had already purchased plane tickets? There was no compassion about a mistake made on their end, only anger that I called her out on it. I don't know if I could trust that they would actually honor any reservation made. Tread carefully!

Location 5/5 Accommodation 4.8/5 Staff 5/5 Value 4.7/5 It's located on the corner just one street in from the beach. So it's quieter at night but still a short walk to the ocean and food spots. Even better, you're adjacent to the Casino Ballroom. It was cool to check out the tour buses arriving as we walked to breakfast. We stayed here for a show and it was convenient to be so close. Every interaction with the staff was helpful and pleasant - phone calls to in person! The price is on par with other spots in the area but here you get a parking spot, pool, and everything is clean and new. Over $550 for two nights is still outrageous, but that is life in 2022. Comfortable bed alert!! Both my husband and I had very restful sleeps (I'm a stomach sleeper and slept awesome!) The rooms were just was we needed although it would have been nice to have a small table and chairs in the room. There's a perfect space by the window in the room for that. 2 night minimum stay...so we made a beach weekend out of our concert night. We left saying, "if we ever come back let's stay here again".

The rooms are evidently undergoing some renovations; however, I don't think there is anyway to renovate this to today's expectations and standards. The heating and cooling unit is loud enough that if you are trying to watch TV you have to turn the volume up when it kicks in and down when it cycles down. The floor had a downhill tilt (not as noticeable in shoes but definitely if you are barefoot). A laminate wood floor has been added as an "update" at sometime, which would have been the time to level up the slope. The ceiling and areas around the heat/air unit all have crazy gaps and need better trim work. Let's talk ventilation and insulation. I swear the ducts just connect one room to another. We listened to the kids next door carrying on till after 11 and the parents evidently didn't care about other guests and the running up and down the halls and hollering during other times was like they were in our room with us. Our room was over the function room and I think the music was louder in our room than it was when we had been downstairs. The advertised "shared microwave" is just one in the lobby, not even one on each floor by the ice machines. We attended a function on Saturday night in the banquet hall. The serving staff was great and were hustling their butt's off. The food was a giant hit or miss!! Those who had pre-ordered the grilled sirloin had the home run meal. The rest of us struck out. The chicken was pounded so thin that it was dry all the way through except for a silver dollar sized area, those who got the ravioli found them to be under stuffed and lacked any kind of sauce so were also dry. If that wasn't bad enough everything was luke warm, but because I was hungry I ate the broccoli and penne . The salds were good, veggies were crispy. Dressing was spotty on some of them and well dressed on others. For the outrageous meal price for events, I am sure we will not be back. When we checked out there was no " how was your stay inquiry from staff, just a "there are no charges so you are all set"

Upon arrival, The floor was dirty (see photo), the tissue holder in the bathroom was rusty, and the baseboards were both dirty and covered with hair (see photos). The bathroom was stocked with no extra toilet paper or tissues, and the bath towels provided were tiny and felt more like hand towels than bath towels. The bedding wasn't much better - I found dirty pillow cases when I checked in. In terms of amenities, the room lacked the basics I'd expect from a hotel in this price range. There was no information about restaurants, hotel hours, or amenities provided in the room, and no phone or safe available. Service was also hit or miss. The valet consistently took around 15 minutes to bring the car, which is a long wait when you're trying to get somewhere. On top of that, I had requested feather-free (hypoallergenic) pillows and comforter, but it took two attempts and over an hour and a half after check-in to finally get it resolved. Overall, the hotel has potential because of its beachfront location, but the lack of cleanliness, poor room setup, and slow service made for a very frustrating experience. I expected much better for the price and would not stay here again unless significant improvements are made. When we brought our concerns up (again) upon check out they did wave the parking and resort fee's but we will not be returning... Perhaps the name should change to Trashworth.... Very disappointing

Must have been a drug party going on by the last occupant? The bed was made when I checked in, but how can housekeeping miss the drugs in the bedside table AND inside the bathroom?? Also, the dark, woodgrain laminate floor was disgustingly DIRTY! My guess is they just sweep only, and hardly if ever, actually wash the floor. I asked the front office if they could do a quick wash of the floor, but they never showed up. Don't make the mistake of walking barefoot on the floor with wet feet, and if you are wearing socks, the bottom of them will turn black quickly. The cold water knob in the shower was frozen shut, and it couldn't turn, only leaving the hot water knob usable, making the shower unusable onless you like scalding water. I asked the front desk if someone could look at it, but nobody showed up. Also, don't try sitting in their cheap plastic patio chairs outside the room, unless you have good health insurance. I really want to like this place, but find it difficult at the present time. 8/23/25
