Review summary
Powered by AI
View: Guests frequently praised the exceptional ocean and sunrise views, particularly from rooms facing the pier or balconies. The 'first-class' view and ability to witness sunrises from the room or nearby pier were highlighted as major draws.(based on 1 review)

The room was clean and the view very nice. Check in staff wasn’t very welcoming or friendly.
While walking to the beach a worker was watering and didn’t stop using the hose as I walked by and I slipped and fell and didn’t ask if I was okay. So not the greatest experience overall.

Right in the center of it all but somehow still quiet. The open patio has a great view! Staff was friendly and helpful.
We had a room off the street. The curtain was dirty, the walls were dirty but the bedsheets and floors were clean. It’s 8/10 on cleanliness. I wouldn’t want to stay more than a night. It’s more for the location.

A room with a nice view but not much else
It was all about the view for us, but the hotel didn’t have a closet because the fridge was in the way. It was a small room and the use of space needed to be thought out. Also, it has the privacy of a motel. The shades didn’t block any light and you could see through them. The shades were also too long and the AC blew the shades up. It was really strange. Everything else was fine.

I really wanted to love this property, but there are definitely a few flaws. While the staff wants to be extremely helpful and is very kind, everything is a bit disorganized. While the location can’t be beat, the property is showing its age. Walls are dirty, common areas are dirty. Our room was not what I would consider a clean I would feel comfortable with when it comes to a hotel. Hair was left on the pillows. There was sand on the floor of the room. I understand it is by the beach but we did not go to the beach so I’d expect a thorough cleaning to be done between guest check out and check in. There is also limited parking. We did not want to move our vehicle in the evening for fear we wouldn’t have a place to park when we came back. But let me reiterate- the staff does try and go above and beyond to be helpful.

Had an oceanfront view, which was beautiful.
When I walked into the room, it smelled like cleaning chemicals, which we assume you know the room would be clean & pristine, especially with the strong fragrance of bleach. The walls looked dirty, especially by the door handle and sink wall.
The door to the balcony and the restroom door would get stuck. On several occasions, the bathroom door would not open even after pushing the door . The door would get stuck in the frame. There was a point someone was in the restroom pushing, & someone was outside the restroom having to pull, & even then it was a bit of a struggle.
The balcony area had a lot of spider webs
The Wi-Fi did not work the entirety of our stay. We stayed three days two nights. The TV would not work consistently and granted we weren’t there to watch TV but when we were in the room, trying to relax the TV wouldn’t always work. The outlet on the table/desk area did not have power going through it.
On the last night, the AC did not work.
They did inform us that there would be construction going on and that is something to keep note of because our room was right at the edge of the street across from the new apartments being built. there are no elevators so when looking into this location, be very mindful of that because there are a lot of stairs or at least to our room there were.
Honestly, felt the price did not match the experience I was expecting.

Quick Easy Family Beach Getaway
The beds were very comfortable and the location is perfect. There are other more expensive options, but we felt that the value was spot-on and the kids LOVED it, especially the balcony over the street that looks over the bay and wharf. The restaurant across the street, Iconic, serves great food and a large selection...their cafe is perfect for an early morning departure for your adventures as well.
