The only thing I didn't like about this hotel is the room. The hotel is located in a upscale area, the room I stayed at doesn't look like upscale.

Positives: Nice view by the beach.

Negatives: Nice area.

For the price the hotel was great. I loved the fact that we were right on the beach. The food was great and the staff friendly. The hotel however does show it's age in many places i.e.: the room doors, no tub, no mini refrigerator, no extra lock on door, etc. I did however feel safe and really enjoyed the beach.

Positives: I loved being right on the beach and the pool was great.

Negatives: Older hotel, no bathtub, extra lock on door.

Ok for one night, nothing special, for a one star hotel recommendable. Nice are the pool area with the restaurant and the beach access. The rooms are very poor and noisy.

Positives: Pool, beach access, view.

Negatives: Noisy rooms, bathroom.

This place is very worn and dated. Hard to find parking at times. Nice restaurant.

Positives: Great ocean views from the pool/patio area.

Negatives: Everything very dated and old. Hard to find parking on Friday and Saturday.

If you want to see the ocean from the deck, you have to buy something from the restaurant. You can't bring your own drink outside, this includes water or pop, to the beach decks. The noise from the bar is so loud that it is hard to hear the TV in the rooms until about 11 p.m., sleep is impossible until then. Tell the office and they tell you the bar makes the money and the hotel is secondary. Would not return!

Positives: It is on the beach.

Negatives: The pool is in the middle of a higher class restaurant.

Excellent hotel on the ocean. No frill, clean and friendly staff.

Positives: It was right on the Ocean.

Negatives: The hotel door need to have a security chain lock.

I arrived at 11:55 p.m. To find the lobby dark and locked and no contact information posted on the door. After 15 minutes on hold I pounded on the lobby door out of frustration and a minute later a lobby clerk (who spoke minimal English) turned on the light, unlocked the door and checked me in. The room smelled damp and appears grimy in the corners. I was concerned for my 10 month old baby who was traveling with us. The pool area and restaurant appeared to be much better quality; however we were in no mood to test it out and spent our time elsewhere. This room was good for a place to sleep and nothing else.

Positives: Location on the beach and price.

Negatives: Was not clean, worried about baby crawling around.

Awful, this hotel has so much damage that has not been repaired from hurricanes that it could be classified as a ghetto hotel. Our room sprung a leak from the window and the staff did not come to check it out until 24 hours later, they offered a single room for 3 people but did not offer the difference between the rooms. I was very unhappy with this hotel. The locals come to the bar and they were no parking spaces, the front office staff is rude, there is maybe 5 feet of sand between the hotel and the water. The tide is up most of the time and you cant go on the beach because the water is all the way up to the hotel. There is mold in the rooms and the floors are slick. I am actually considering hiring a lawyer to get compensated for this most awful hotel room. I paid way to much money to get what I got.

Positives: Absolutely nothing.

Negatives: Everything, the mold in the room and the leak that came from the window and under our bed and to our suitcases was not very pleasant with.

The reservation was for 1 king bed and when I got there (after calling the hotel as the place was nesting between two other buildings); they gave me a room with 2 double beds. The coffee maker didn't work and the room had bad odor but since we were told that the hotel is full there was no point in asking to change the room.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Everything.

The smell in the room was very strongly moldy, musty and the AC was dripping and had mold in it. The room was also dirty and the beds were very uncomfortable. I would not recommend this hotel unless you are looking only for location. Please be advised, however, that it is on the water but there is no beach. The water laps at the bottom level of the hotel. The pool was very inadequate small and no place to sit.

Positives: The location was the only good thing about this hotel.

Negatives: The room was smelly, dirty, moldy and musty. The AC was dripping.

The rooms are clean but need more storage for clothing. There is a language barrier with cleaning staff which can be challenging. This being said the location is great. The hotel is beach front and the beach is beautiful. You are surrounded by condos and hotels that cost three times as much. If you are there for the ocean rather than the room it can't be beat.

Positives: The location was great,

Negatives: Need more clothing chests in room.

A claim for false advertisement should seriously be pursued against this hotel. The "beach" is non-existent for most of the day, due to the ocean being up against the sea wall of the hotel. When there is enough beach to walk on, it is covered with huge pieces of concrete that have sharp pieces of rebar hanging out of them. There was not a bathtub in the room, so we were not able to bath our infant. The desk clerk told us to beware because she did not trust the staff. The hotel itself seemed to be deteriorating and falling apart. Our door resembled that of a prison door. This experience has definitely made me more cautious about future uses of the service.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: No bathtub, dirty floors, no working internet in rooms, no beach as advertised, much more than 20 words allow.

Nice ocean front view from the restaurant and pool, but given the quality of the rooms I would not list this property as a 2-star accommodation. I was overcharged for what I received.

Positives: Ocean view from restaurant/patio.

Negatives: Run down quality of room.

The suite we were moved do was not kept up well. The linens on the twin beds have small dark speckles on it (hoping they were not bugs). The walls needed touch up paint. The blinds were bent. A door was missing between the bedroom and the kitchen area. Grout in front of tub needed touch up.

Positives: Manager offered to move us to a suite because we were not happy with the room we had on the first night.

Negatives: The first room has a very noisy air conditioner with water circulating through it.

This hotel should not be on your list. Beside from the stuff I have mentioned, it was not a smoke free room I requested, didn't have extra pillows or blankets. Didn't have microwave in lobby for customer use.

Positives: This was the worst motel I have been to!

Negatives: No trash cans, no paper cups, sink clog with cigarettes.

Definitely don't judge a book by its cover at this hotel. There are only 3 hotels on this strip that are right on the beach and this hotel is probably the only affordable one. While the rooms are old, but they are clean, that's all that matters to me. The best part is when you visit the restaurant and bar in the back of the hotel. It was recently renovated and looks like an island paradise. It didn't look like the same hotel you pulled in to! On top of this, the food was great! Fresh seafood and a lot to choose from. The view was awesome, perfect for a relaxing day. There is a small pool also. Kids would probably be bored, but great for a romantic getaway. We stayed for one night and were happy to put our feet up somewhere relaxing.

Positives: The location, view, bars and restaurant made this hotel a great stay!

Negatives: The hotel is old and the rooms reflect that, but it was clean.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 11 Nov 2007 rated 2 out of 10.

Not enough towels, Floor with tiles is sweating.

Positives: Friendly staff.

Negatives: Moister ridden rooms.

Positives: Close to a beautiful beach.

Negatives: Hard to find.

Was okay for a one night stay. Would not recommend for a longer stay.

Positives: Located on the beach.
