    I would have liked it to be cleaner. Beach front units take a lot of maintenance. The company is not keeping up with cleaning and painting.

    Good beach front location. Not 4 star but a good deal for the price. The timing was also good because the price is about to increase to summer rates.

    Understaffed. Needs some paint. Could use some remodeling.

    Great location. Staff was friendly but they were understaffed. We had to walk to the hotel next door in order to check in. The rooms are nice but a coat of paint would go a long way. It doesn't look as though much time, money, and effort goes into the upkeep. Still, a decent hotel at a good price.

    The evening hotel staff

    The lady that had checked his hand was the rudest woman I've ever met. Made us carry 12 bags without a cart. Didn't help us with a cart and I had a 10-month-old baby in my arms and she just watched us!

    Parking lots was small and only one trash can that was located in tbe restroom. Oh and when checking in after 10 I had to walk to the hotel next door and check in.

    On the beach, close to everything, it wasn't to bad for the money I paid. Honestly, a lot of the reviews was horrible, but I would stay here again!!

    Toilet problem. Street traffic noise. Abnormal elevator car movement. Construction at rear hindered beach acceas. Parking lot size waa relatively limited, but not much problem this season.Resort fee did not seem justified.

    Location near Miller pier, Large room with kitchen area, large space in fridge. Private balcony wirh beach view. Plenty of linen.

    no decent pots pans caused us to still need food from outside locations. The elevator was good but dirty the entire trip and there should have been more tables

    Beach access and location great. The rub was very kool the beds were decent and the kitchen was nice. But…..

    the "kitchen" was without any utensils that we could find. a can opener would be nice. patio chairs were plastic and old. no housekeeping was around our whole stay, I'm sure the front desk would have sent someone? we were out most of the time so..

    The room had a smell; probably the carpet. We brought sanitizing spray just in case. I suggest tile throughout. The mattress had a spring sticking out the side. Needs new mattresses. Needs a room divider for more privacy. The elevator is way past the inspection date and seems a little sketchy

    I loved the location. The room layout was perfect for two couples. Parking was great. The beach was beautiful
