Housekeeping 10+ Front desk staff 10+ for Parshan & Vivian professional & friendly and look great in uniform.Everything with this stay was great with exception to restaurant Traders. Checked in and stop by for a cocktail and there was no one, no bartender nor waitress. Not sure what was going on but we left and had great drinks at Crabby's Oceanside. Excellent.

Great oceanfront property. Staff was always pleasant and very helpful. I can't say anything bad about the place other than there is nowhere to eat or drink in the area or in the hotel. The restaurant was closed the majority of the time we stayed there. Other than that it was a nice stay. Rooms were big and clean. Balcony over the pool and oceanviews.

We saw a lot of bad reviews about this place, but we’re so glad we didn’t listen. Our room was super clean, and the staff was absolutely amazing — so much so that we ended up extending our stay.
The only downside is that the hotel could definitely use some serious updates. The exterior, in particular, could use a facelift.
That being said, the service more than made up for it. The gentleman working at night with the beard was extremely helpful, and the bar staff was fantastic. Overall, we had a great experience and would stay again.
