Rather dated, the walls are thin between rooms, but overall, a quite pleasant experience.

Being able to enjoy the beach without hardly anyone there in August was great.
Pros:

The staff were very welcoming and accomodating when we asked for clean sheets because ours were all wrinkled. I think they were just old as the clean sheets appeared the same when we changed them. The location and the view is why I booked with the Schooner and we were not dissapointed. The sunrise from the balcony was wonderful!! The parking was also convenient.

Cons:

I knew from the reviews that the hotel was outdated, but be prepared - it is *very outdated and could have been cleaner. We were only staying one night so it wasn't that big of a deal, and the positives made up for it. However, be aware that there is not a restaurant or even a continental breakfast offered either.

Very uncomfortable and the staff was completely unresponsive to my complaints
Pros:

The room was awful but it had a great ocean view off of the balcony

Cons:

The room had an awful smell like a pesticide had been used
It affected our breathing. We had to leave the ocean side door open just to breath and we both came home with respiratory problems.
They were supposed to provide a comfortable chair which they claimed that you didn't request.
The pool had a dangerous step leading into the water. I took one step down and slipped and fell down the steps into the pool injuring my leg and hip. There were.no witnesses so I have no remorse

Disappointed
Pros:

Location is pretty good. Quiet area at the end of that area. Vending machines and ice machine worked good.

Cons:

An older hotel and it shows. Needs updated bad. Bathrooms are small. Luggage carts are about to fall apart. Small outside pool could use a good cleaning. Wasn't fond of the separator out on the balcony instead of a real wall from the room next door. Definitely not worth the price we paid for our room....

Beautiful view and super friendly staff, but not clean or very comfortable.
Pros:

The location, the staff was so friendly, the ocean view was beautiful.

Cons:

We had to ask for new sheets and towels upon arrival. Ours had hairs all in them…. Then when we asked for new towels those had hairs in them as well. So I ordered some from target to use my own.. also the AC never got below 75 and it was so warm in our room.
