Disappointed.
The toilet did not fully flush. Also, the sink was clogged the entire time. But our stay was during the days right before Christmas, so we were out and about during the day and preoccupied with visiting family. And when we returned to our hotel room, we just wanted to fall asleep. So, the basic amenities we paid for were not available when we really needed them. I will NEVER stay at this location again.

My back says I’m not allowed to book here again.
Had to take muscle relaxers to sleep because my mattress was way, way too painfully soft to support my back. Overall, far too much to spend on a basic hotel on Ocean Street when neither parking or breakfast are included.

We had a small gathering of family and friends to meet our son and his girlfriend after her proposed. The suite was perfect to host everyone and we had a nice dinner in the restaurant afterwards. It was so memorable for the newly engaged couple. The staff was awesome and we will be back!

We booked this late at the last minute and it fit our needs. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. The bar and lobby were spacious, although service was a little lean as the bartender had to take food orders, make and serve drinks, serve food and run the register. Menu was sufficient. Food was OK.

Wonderful experience!
I found this hotel charming, cool, and clean, and overall, it was just a great experience. My room was spacious and comfortable. The pool area was cool for a rogue 70-degree warmer winter day. The staff was super friendly, and with the low season rates, I'd say it certainly was a bang for my buck. 10/10 would recommend. I'm not sure why there are so many poor reviews; I thought this place fire.
