I have stayed here 3 times now. Twice was prior to the renovation and once after. I will not be back as the staff and pr
Pros:

Liked that it was on the beach.

Cons:

The elevator was not working and we were put on the 5th floor. No compensation or sympathy was given due to this. Also the renovation is terrible. We could not plug in a blow dryer in the bathroom without blowing a fuse. The rooms seem bare and not hospitable. Our room was also barged into twice by maintenance when the deadbolt was locked (apparently they have a key to overuse this). We did not request maintenance. The staff also has no customer service and didn’t not care about any of our concerns.

Pros:

The location and how big thr room was.

Cons:

We are senior citizens. So it is not really set up sor seniors. The walk in shower was nice, but it didn’t have a place to put your soap. You had to either put the soap on the floor or hold it while bathing. It just had the sofa in the sitting area, but it had a very high table and 2 very tall chairs, which were to high for us to sit in. Also the Adirondack chairs on the balcony were to low for us to get in and out of.

Cons:

Floors were filthy, no microwave, no clock, no table with chairs, no place to sit and watch TV, only one side bedside table, no chain locks on doors, no caddy available to take luggage up, no counter to put anything on in bathroom, frig was not cold, bed was too high to get in and mattress was very hard.

The beautiful the hotel was beautiful. Need some work need some things.
Pros:

That it was right on the beach.

Cons:

That the elevator wasn’t working and they gave us a room on the sixth floor. I’m 70 years old. There was no way so they accommodated me to the other building that had an elevator.

I would highly recommend this hotel to others and we would stay here again!
Pros:

Ease of getting right to the beach! The remodel was lovely! Beds were comfy! The view was perfect! Air conditioner worked great too! The pool was clean and refreshing!

Cons:

The elevator didn’t work in the Tide building but they were gracious enough to switch us to the Palm building where the elevator was working! 6 floors to climb was ALOT! Thankfully it was only one night! The remodel was done well and we felt comfortable and safe!!

You get what you pay for.
Pros:

sign in was easy. we were given a different room due to elevator in the second tower not working.

Cons:

The pool needed more daily attention. Seems like the skimmer wasn't working properly and only 1 elevator worked in both towers.

Very inconvenient and not accommodating
Pros:

Location was great.
Beds were comfy

Cons:

No overhead light in either bedroom.
No outlet in the bathroom.
No shelf or niche in the shower.
No towel bar to hang wet towels.

There were no chairs in the room. No table to set anything on.
The TV in the bedroom did not work.

I would stay here again :)
Pros:

It was in a great location & very affordable!

Cons:

there were only showers and no bathtubs and only 1 door into the shower so when you turn the shower on you get blasted by cold water. There are no places to hang your loofas, wash cloths or put your shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Not enough places in the bathroom to hang towels and what not
