Parking is horrible. Valet is offered, but needs to be more controlled because of beach traffic, we and others had no idea where to go for valet. Elevator is old and scary. The toilet was not working properly. The pillows were very dingy and there was sand in the bed, not sure if the bedding was changed from the previous tenant. Pricey but nice location to the beach. Staff was great.

In the reservation, I wasn’t aware that I had to pay $45 a night for parking. That’s ridiculous! My room wasn’t a good view of the ocean. The corner window only had an ocean view, the room didn’t look at all like the advertised.

Outdated, expensive, doors didn’t close properly, no parking you have to pay $60.00 for valet per day. Towels were stained cleaned but stained. You can tell the owners don’t care about the guest they only care about their pockets. We had to interrupt our stay due to the condition the hotel was in and they refused a refund for the remaining days. Expedia had to get involved and negotiate a cancelation. Rooms are not worth the price. The only good thing was the closeness to the beach and pier.
