Cancel your reservations! This hotel was the most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed at. The staff is extremely rude. The Hotel was recently bought out by another company and the company plans to tear down the building before labor day. The rooms were very hot, the beds and sheets were dirty. I would NOT recommend this to a friend... more

If you're looking for the Ritz this is NOT the place for you. If you are looking for a nice, CLEAN, friendly hotel this place is great! I've never had someone be so friendly when checking into and out of a hotel. The view was amazing!!! The beds were very clean. I even got the impression that the comforters were... more

As some reviewers have noted, this hotel will be torn down after the 2007 season to make way for new timeshares. We were a little unsure of what to expect as the reviews were so mixed, however the low price and features for a beach front room were what sold us on it. That, plus the fact that for just... more

It was understandable to pay $91+ for this hotel room this time of year due to a large soccer tournament. However, for this price I would have expected: 1) alarm clock or any type of time device 2) working heat 3)small bottle of condiment shampoo 4)mattress and blankets have been changed out within the last 15 years 4)coffee maker that... more

i'll tell you, the room was ok. mini fridge for drinks, great view of the beach, your basic balcony. i am so happy, though, that the only time i ever spent in there was sleeping. there was a discrepancy between my payment and the amount they took from my account, clearly in their favor. it turned out to be a... more

My husband and I stayed there with our grand-daughter for 4 nights. The hotel was clean, had a great view, with a nice size balcony. Management and house-keeping staff friendly and polite. Hotel does need some repairs done to it. Beds are not too comfortable. Bathrooms very clean but do need up dated. Looks like no remodeling has been done... more
