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 about every hotel there is a mixture of good and bad reviews, and this looked no worse than many and better than some.
We were pleasantly surprised, and enjoyed our stay immensely. Yes, it is getting old. Yes, the elevator is slightly larger than a tuna can, but there are only about 35 rooms so it was seldom a wait...when it was, four flights of stairs were okay as an alternate. Yes, the amenities are rather lacking. But on the whole, it was clean, the staff was courteous, the kids loved the easy access to the beach (go around the pool and through the bushes to avoid the smelly trash cans in the small alley), and we really had no complaint for saving a couple of hundred dollars over similar places in our 5 day stay. The micro efficiency has a 3/4 size refrigerator, microwave, sink and reasonable cabinet space, so we were able to save on meals out. Bring your own paper plates and plastic ware, as well as coffee and filters.
We had an end room and felt comfortable occasionally propping the door open slightly and got a very lovely cross breeze from the windows in the corridor so could turn off the noisy A/C for a while.
Overall we were very happy and given the chance, would stay there again. We found it not nearly so bad as some reviewers had noted. Enjoy it while it lasts!
