I held a reservation for 6/29-7/1, which required cancellation prior to 6/27. I cancelled on 6/26 and received a confirmation of cancellation, AND THEY CHARGED ME IN FULL ON 6/26 ! I called on 6/30 and they said "we can not find your reservation". I simply told them I'll contact Amex and file a charge back .... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !

The room was advertised as a suite yet it had no microwave and was set-up as a hotel room - nothing like a suite. other rooms were visible that were much more suite-like. Parking was a nightmare - 15 spots meant no one could open the car doors. - windows down and climb through to the end vehicle to exit. I came out in the morning and had to walk in the mud with my roller board to get to my car whcih I climbed through the hatchback to get ot he driver seat to pull out of the spot. Floor as sticky - bed comforter was questionable so I threw it to the ground and slept under a single sheet. built in automatic air freshner smelled like a freeway rest area - I threw up twice.

It was fine for one night. No more. Great location! Rooms are musty. No ice. No coffee until 9am. If you want to park, get there early. Staff was very friendly

For the price it was a good deal! Room was simple. Would’ve appreciated a chair and desk in the room…, but everything was clean which matters to me more. Loved that it was a quick walk to the beach and dining. I’d stay here again for a quick affordable getaway.

Not what I expected... It was more dirty and run down than I expected. The rooms need to be freshened up. Peeling paint, older feel. Location was close to the beach.

There were dead bugs on the ceiling. The mattress is insanely uncomfortable. There were not enough towels for everyone in the booking, we had asked for more and then when housekeeping came in the following day they took all but one towel. The beds were not made even though housekeeping had come in and took the towels. We had asked if we can do early baggage drop off they said yes which I’m grateful for but it was not in a secure place. The luggage was just kept the main lobby, which wasn’t a problem for us but something to keep in mind.

Overnight but could have stayed longer Overnight stay perfectly adequate for this and close to Pharmacy and other outlets for evening food snacks The beach is at the end of the road 100yards. New tower blocks around it only serve to show its art deco exterior and plan is unique and should be preserved. Interior is shabby in places but not enough to say it’s neglected Just wish I win the lottery to buy it and give it the face over it deserves. The surrounding area full of bars marinas and very close to water taxi. Definitely stay here again.
