10/10 Exceptional

Great value! For the cost, this was a terrific stay. The room was clean, well situated (a block from the beach) and friendly staff. Beds were comfortable too. We arrived very late and the after hours check in was smooth. There was no room cleaning/fresh towels mid stay, but we only stayed 2 nights.

Rooms are comfortable, pool is nice and Renee is always a pleasure to work with.
Tamara, 8-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was in good condition with a pleasant decor, but very noisy from fans and laundry machine next door, could not sleep at night. Staff was present from 10 am to 6 pm, and then office was closed with no one onsite There was homeless person sleeping on the couch next to pool at night Hotel is located on N Ocean drive, no security, no overnight personnel, anyone can walk through the property, felt very unsafe Hotel was not cheap, $315 for 2 nights, I asked for late check out and was told it's $35, but was charged $56, no copy of the receipt was provided Definitely would not stay here next time
Beautiful decor, good bed, very clean
Nelli, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our stay here and will be returning for future trips. Perfect distance walk to the beach and restaurant. The lady at the front desk we very helpful and kind which goes a long way! Pool was nice, they had lots of toys for my kids to play with. The room itself was also well sized, beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was functioning. What more could you ask for? The only thing I would do differently is ask for a ground level room since I had a stroller and there was no elevator.

Cottage, not Castle

The woman at the front desk was super helpful but our room was so tiny. It was hard to get around the bed, no hot water and no counter space in the bathroom. The location was great and the pool was nice and heated.
Martin, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice little place on busy road

Nice place, decent rooms and made reasonable accommodations to our needs coming in late and switching rooms mid-trip. The heated outdoor pool was nice, very warm at first but we were able to adjust that easily enough. Rooms were clean, mattresses were a bit thin, not super comfortable, but sufficient.
