The Management was great. Looking forward to possibly staying there in the future. They were able to answer all of my questions, assist with what was needed and always friendly. The room was one of the updated beachfront two queen beds room. It was spacious and had a great view. Access to the beach was amazing for the warmer hours of the day. Everything was within walking distance of the hotel so we didn't have to worry about parking downtown.

Nice property with a good view of the beach. Room was very nice and freshly remodeled. The only issues I had were my tv did not work at all. And the splash pad/ waterpark area was closed. Overall we had a nice stay at the property.

We had problems when checking in. And the hall to our room was filthy. The screen on our room's door was broken open. The ceiling to the bath leaked. We were reluctantly offered another room, but we canceled our reservation and moved next door to The Clarion, which was the best thing that happened.

We found hair all over the bathroom and on the beds in the room. Toilet paper roll was empty. Room had a musty smell when we first arrived. Room has not been updated in a very long time. Bed felt like i was sleeping on a piece of plywood. The room was also never cleaned during our stay.
