"Old(er) hotel that has been upgraded. Beds and pillows were comfy. Twice management came to see if I was smoking (I wasn’t) and twice housekeeping came while I was drying my hair. Seems like the noise of the hairdryer would have been pretty noticeable? The room next to me partied until 5am. Perhaps that is the room that was setting off the smoking sensor. All in all it was adequate. I think I was expecting more. "
"The staff at the hotel was phenomenal!! Every single staff member went out of their way to ensure we and our dogs had a great weekend. The lobby lounge was beautiful and relaxing with great food, drinks and service!"
"Excellent hotel & staff. After trying to re-boot the tv cable box several times with no success I was quickly moved to a new corner room with amazing views (and a cable box that worked fine)).
Thank you!"
"We had a really lovely stay for a long weekend in the off-season and overall had a great experience. The hotel has a beautiful setting, and while our water view room did include some rooftop in the sightline, you could still catch the water from certain angles, which was still a nice touch.
The indoor pool is on the smaller side, and each time we checked it was occupied by children, so we didn’t end up using it—but it’s great that it’s available as an amenity. We really enjoyed spending time at the Torpedo Lounge—the atmosphere was great, and the live music one evening was such a highlight. Breakfast at the 1969 restaurant was also very good and a perfect way to start the day.
One of the biggest conveniences was the shuttle service into town—it made everything so easy and stress-free. The spa was another standout and a great addition to the stay, though it would have been nice if there were a few more amenities or spaces to relax before or after treatments.
Since we visited in the off-season, there wasn’t a ton to do directly on the property, but it’s easy to imagine how amazing it would be during the warmer months with full access to the outdoor spaces and amenities. Overall, a very enjoyable stay with great service—we’d definitely consider coming back in season to experience it fully."
"Ms. Ajicfana is a Professional worker, very care and respectful worker. Thank her very knowledgeable ,caring ,helpful and respectful person to receiving people. Thanks again "
"My family booked a 2 night stay here last minute in March to have an anticipated rainy beach day by their indoor poor during a road trip. The website (still, April 2026) lists a pool as an amenity. Expedia also lists that the property has a pool. However they have NOT had a working pool in some time.
We arrived in the evening so agreed to stay the first night but wanted to cancel the second day/night within the allowable time but were told by the hotel only Expedia could initiate our cancellation, which hotel manager would have to approve. The manager would not then and has not since responded to the request for cancellation and hotel has kept our payment - against the stated policy.
Staff even mentioned knowing the website incorrectly lists a pool though thought it’s not a currently an amenity.
Pros: front desk staff are really nice. Rooms are dated but clean and comfortable. It’s directly across from the beach."
