James, Jul 2020
Pros (+) Literally 5 feet from the sand. Traveled during the Covid but it was great!
8.8
Very good
Anonymous, Dec 2018
Pros (+) Location, location, location! You can’t get any closer to the beach, so many restaurants, shops, bars in walking distance. Super convenient!
Cons (-) You need to take it for what it is. It’s an older hotel that could really use an upgrade but it was what it was and you couldn’t have gotten anything better for the price. It was all about the location for us - morning coffee on the beach

Shawna, Sept 2016
Pros (+) The location is absolutely beautifully amazing. The view is unbelievable. The location is right next to the boardwalk and beach, and is very pet friendly. There are some hours that dogs are not allowed on the boardwalk/beach but there are lots of other close by beaches they are slowed at. Definately recommend this hotel.
Cons (-) This hotel is definately an older hotel with a great location and we stayed in September I would have thought that the prices of the rooms would have been a little less than they were.
