2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW

We only stayed one night and I'm glad that's all it was. I feel we over paid for that! The website is very mis leading!!! The hotel is run down, the beds are like bricks, the carpet was disgusting could not walk around barefoot!!! We will never stay again! Oh and NO water pressure in the shower.

Sorry you were disappointed. To address your complaint of water pressure , at no time have we encountered low pressure in any shower. We did check your room and all seemed to be as expected. All carpets are routinely shampooed and every attempt is made to keep them in a clean condition. More

Certainly not our response to a guest not liking their accommodations, the usual would be to transfer you to a room away from cigar smoke. Cigar smoking is not allowed in rooms and we would have a problem with getting such a smell to not travel to other rooms. Guests are asked to smoke only in smoking rooms ; this... More

My wife, granddaughter, and I stayed May 31st-June 8th(2013). I have read very bad reviews on this site, but they either didn't stay here or they're lying. The staff was very friendly and helpful, Marie (the manager) is awesome, and my only issue was very small; a dripping air conditioner. I told Marie and she immediately sent help, and my... More

Very sorry for your inconvenience and assure you your complaints have been taken up with appropriate personnel. Staff are directed to correct problems not toss tools to guests. Age of hotel is for some a detriment and to others nostalgic. Try us again in the future and hopefully we will be more in line with your expectations. More

Stayed here for one night... Hotel room very old & outdated, felt & smelled dirty. However, the HUGE oceanfront terrace more than made up for it. They post a maximum of 6 people on the terraces because they are big enough to hold 20! Will go again. Also, pet friendly for large dogs!

My family had a blast! I would have given a five but the rooms are a little dated and dustyin some places. Other than that. Nice staff, Great DJ at the pool! We had so much fun just hanging out around the pool.

Me and my husband booked this hotel for our honeymoon after it was recommended to us by a friend. We get there and the lobby seems fair enough aside from the average mess every now and then. But when we get to the room we see the room is falling apart, the jacuzzi was dirty and took over 30 minuets... More

Research shows you were sent to a room that was not yet cleaned and that was very unfortunate error at the front desk. Protocol would have been to move you to another room that was ready for occupancy. Our apologies for the discomfort. More
