Absolutely disgusting, rusty tub with a ring if grime and did not drain, other people's hair still in the bathroom and on the dishes in the kitchen, rusty microwave, roaches!!! Yes i said roaches!! We checked in at 7pm and they already had ppl complaining about how dirty their room was so it took them 20 mins just to check me in. I should have asked for a refund then but id driven 6 hours and just wanted food and a shower. Went to diner before we looked at the bathroom and kitchen and when we got back is when we discovered how gross the room was and the clogged tub when we tried to shower. Called to have someone come to unclog and clean and they came but they did not fix it or clean. This was 11:30pm abd we had to go to bed w/o a shower. The property did not offer another room or any relief in fact they did not even unclog the tub until noon the next day. Mind you i payed $250 a night to stay in thus disgusting place and we were stuck away from home on a weekend so other places were already fully booked. The property managers do not care about you or your comfort. I got no resolution and left feeling grossed out and cheated. The pictures are not representative of the property. In person its dirty, dilapidated and unsafe. The staff is so used to complaints they just stand there and listen but do nothing. Do not stay here. Please no not stay here. I wish i could post pictures.

Our check in times was 4pm. When we got there at 4pm the office was packed of ppl. Waiting for their rooms to be cleaned so we all could check in. Our room wasn't ready till almost 7pm. We went to dinner and waited on the beach. The floors in our room was covered in sand. The bedding had stains. It was gross. I went out and bought new bedding. And the bathroom was old and falling apart. I called around to see if we could stay somewhere else but everything was full. Spring break. The hallways in the mornings had food beer cans bottles everywhere. The pool also had food trash and cigarettes floating in it. The only nice thing there was we could walk to the beach from our room. We will never stay there again.

Upon arrival hair from previous occupant in shower. The floors so dirty turned our feet black. Mold on ceiling. Used condom wrapper in pullout couch. Hair dryer was supposed to be privided IN ROOM had to go to office and wait 45 minutes to get one. There were prostitutes and people blaring music doing drugs all in the parking lot. There was hardly parking available. THERE ARE BETTER PLACES TO STAY!!!

Absolutely loved the location and the easy walk to the beach. The room was ok, nothing fancy….could use some updating but it served its purpose. I will be back as long as I’m on the 1st floor. The proximity to the beach makes the rest of it unimportant.

We love being able to stay in a walkout unit and be on the beach. There was some sand left in the shower but other than that everything else was very clean. Staff at the office was super nice and helpful.

Run down hotel. Rooms were not updated. Layout was ok with pool and beach front but entire hotel needed a renovation. No breakfast or restaurant. Only small eats at a poolside bar.

For the price you pay, this property is ok. I would be coming back. Heated pool, on the beach, near mb miller pier. I especially liked the entertainment on a saturday afternoon. They have a guitarist and a singer performing about 2 sets. I enjoyed it. Plus their chicken fingers and fries was good. Its certainly an old facility that is renovated. Its non smoking but your still smell the smoke all over the facility.

My boyfriend and I stayed 4/14-4/17/25. We had the two room king suite. We were there after spring break so there weren’t many people there which was our plan. The views are incredible. Pool was wonderful. Trish at the Tiki bar on site makes a fabulous margarita. They did forget to put towels and a remote in our room, but Jun at the office fixed that immediately. It is an old hotel and furnishings are very basic, but the pool, beach access and beach viewing seating is fantastic. Will definitely be back.
