Decent stay and the perfect location
Pros:

The location is unbeatable, and the walk to the beach is seconds. Ample parking, friendly staff, included breakfast, clean pool and a small store for those late night snacks. Ice machine and hotel doors are very accessible and convenient.

Cons:

The bathroom had mold in the shower, the AC rattled, the shampoo/conditioner had not been filled, there was little to even no water pressure at times.

The building to the east had tour busses stop there 1-2 times daily while we were there, which made access difficult to impossible at times so schedule around those.

I rated our stay 9/10 due to barking dogs. It wasn’t necessarily the property’s fault and we didn’t complain but it
Pros:

Great breakfast. Great beach location. Super friendly staff. Comfortable beds.

Cons:

The allowance of dogs is a gamble. Barking dogs are always a possibility and our stay included neighbors with dogs and it wasn’t pleasant.

First impressions.
Pros:

The breakfast was good. They attempted to resolve an issue.

Cons:

At the time of checking into the hotel they could not find my reservation through booking.com at all. I was then asked to wait while they checked in other waiting guests that came in after me. When I asked for the manager who was on call that night and she told me her name I then asked for her number as I had already spoken to her twice before coming to ensure everything was ready and handled, and she would more than likely remember that I called previously and be able to help me more efficiently as the person at the front desk had no clue what was going on. I was then given a number that was not the managers number but in fact the main hotels number. When I questioned the lady at the front desk, she stated she didn't have it, it was in a book that she would have to look for. I asked her if she could please get the direct number and provide it to me. At this time I was still having to wait as other guests continued to be checked in. The front desk finally called the manager(without looking for the said "book") and explained what was going on, the moment the manager heard her say my name she stated "I just spoke with her the other day, everything should be set for that quest" (she was on speaker phone). It was very much not, though the manager did not come in to handle the situation she did tell the front desk to upgrade my room to a beach view with easy beach access for no extra charge, as well as reimbursement of one whole night. They both did apologize for the situation. I thought the situation was resolved for the most part until I got to the room and checked out the beach view and was locked out! (Yes I had my key card) Turned out the battery was dead, as I found out when I went back to the front desk to inform her (the same woman as before). She told me she would send someone right away to change the battery.

Not worth it
Pros:

I am unfortunately staying here right now and it was a huge mistake. The only positive is the location, right on the beach. Other than that, the hotel is run down. The room was not very clean and I had to wipe down surfaces to remove hair and dust. There are little brown bugs flying around. The air conditioning unit sounds like a freight train and disrupts our sleep. The breakfast selection is inedible, even the hard-boiled eggs. You pay $15 a day for parking. The pool is tiny and depressing. The staff are friendly but need to clean more thoroughly. Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again, even for the location. Terrible experience. I would leave now if I could.

Beautiful view and 5 star service!
Pros:

This wasn’t a normal stay for us. We had last minute and change of plans. I have stayed in 100’s of Hiltons. I have spoken with 4 different associates over 2 days and all of them are 5 star when it comes to service. The hotel is right on the beach / dunes and you can walk out the door and walkway and be there. Beautiful gulf water. Umbrellas and chairs. White sands. The hotel is small and only 2 floors but any lack in the number of floors is made up in service x10. The hotel is clean and pool is great. I want to give special recognition to Ron who was more accommodating than those working in a 5 star hotel, Angel the front desk manager, and I wish I remembered the sweetest lady working the afternoon of May 18, 2026. She was the kindest, sweetest southerner that made you feel welcome and right at home! Definitely worked for our stay!

We would definitely stay here again!
Pros:

The location was perfect and it’s a great price. It was clean and comfortable. The pool was small but never over crowded while we were there. It is a very short walk to and from the beach. We enjoyed getting lemonade at the door.

Cons:

The breakfast was just ok. The first morning was a lot better than the second. There were more choices and things my children will eat.
