Very average experience. Would stay here again, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to book here.
Pros:

Breakfast was standard and as expected. Great location on the beach. Friendly staff. Very whelmed with this experience.

Cons:

Beds didn't have enough pillows and they were low quality. Asked desk for more and they were out. So not the most comfortable night, but we only stayed one night and it was a great stop before our cruise the next day.

It's a nice place to stay with breakfast and a pool by the beach.
Pros:

For the price and location it was what I expected, so if your there for the beach you are good, fishing pier is walking distance from the Hotel, Jimmy's on the pier great place to eat, there's a gas station across from the fishing pier, its a great location for a family vacation to the beach.

Cons:

The elevators kept breaking.

Bezahlbare Unterkunft direkt am Strand mit sehr freundlichem Personal
Pros:

Blick vom Balkon auf den Fishing Pier und Sonnenuntergang, Personal sehr hilfsbereit, auch Abends wenn die Klimaanlage nicht richtig funktioniert.

Cons:

Frühstück einfach , kein Joghurt, keine Auswahl an Obst, Plastik- und Pappegeschirr wird sehr verschwendet und ohne Rücksicht auf Wiederverwertung oder Mülltrennung entsorgt

Not the worst place but not up to my standards for the price.
Pros:

Location was nice. It’s the kind of place I would stay in if I was a college student on a guys trip to the beach.

Cons:

Room wasn’t very clean or put together well, had an odor, door was sagging making it difficult to open and close, and the smoke alarm was missing. Breakfast only had eggs and packaged muffins. The dumpster in the parking lot was overflowing with as much trash on the outside as in it.

Update the ac and would definitely stay here again. For another quick family vacation
Pros:

The rooms were clean when we got there. The staff was very nice and hospitable. Great breakfast selection could do with a meat protein.

Cons:

The a/c in the room did not make for a comfortable and cold nights sleep after spending all day in the sun. The rest of the hotel was just as hot as well. I feel like the hvac system as a whole needs to be upgraded

Not horrible...Not Great...Has Potential
Pros:

The location was great and the room was clean.

Cons:

The front desk staff were rude and not helpful at all during check-in. They didn't know where my room was or which elevator was working. Told me to test them both. The breakfast was not great. The lady working the breakfast was so nice and worked hard to keep up with the large crowd. My balcony overlooked a pile of trash and construction pieces and something that smelled dead. I had high hopes for the hotel stay bc it was affordable and spacious room. Guess you get what you pay for. The place just needs some fixing up and training for the front desk staff.

The room was fine. The bed was hard, sheets were clean. The 2 pillows provided were flat and hard. Don't even try to get another one. Noone at the front desk answers the phone and if you go to them, they are zero help.

The TV didn't have many channels. The AC was awesome, so that saved the day.

Pros:

Location was good

Cons:

Front desk staff very rude and not helpful. We tried to do laundry, the washer filled up with water and cut out. We had to wring out the clothes by hand and take it to a laundry mat, 9:30 at night. Maintenance man told us it was a known problem with the washer and he didn't know how to fix it. When we came back from laundry mat, both elevators were out of order. I have medical issues and cannot do stairs. I struggled to get up the two flights of stairs, I had complications all night and a good part of the next few days. It actually ruined the rest of my vacation, due to the extreme pain and suffering I had.
