The room was clean but the cleaning chemicals were so strong- we had to have the doors open and fans on all day to air it out. Beds aren’t the most comfortable. Location was so nice.

Our vacation was wonderful with convenient and safe parking, great amenities in the room and a beautiful view of the ocean. Check-in was quick with Michael, who accommodated us with excellent service and professionalism. He gave us some great tips on places to eat and nearby attractions to see. We will definitely be back!

The view from the room was beautiful! Loved the fresh ocean air coming in through the windows! Room and bathroom were clean! No complaints! Choosing a place off a web search can be risky, but I was impressed! Would love to stay a here again! Perfect location right on the beach! Could not ask for more!

5.0 / 10.0

The room was very clean and looked like it was just remodeled. First time I've seen a ceiling fan/light with a remote in a motel. I slept like a baby. Right on the beach and super short walk to the pier and restaurant's. I would definitely stay there again.

Older beach hotel. Friendly staff. Can’t beat the oceanfront location.

1.0 / 10.0

Hotel was right along beach, but that was the only highlight!! There was NO A/C and the room was sweaty hot. There was one window that opened in the bathroom, but it was next to dumpsters and didn’t provide much air flow through room. Room fan was on remote system, but had to turn on light switch to make it work. A tower fan was in tiny closet, but only button that worked was timer feature which didn’t even turn on the fan so it was pointless. There were very few plugins unless you unplugged the mini fridge or coffee maker. The room was so small that our luggage wouldn’t fit between the queen bed and dresser. My spouse and I had to take turns passing though the room because it was so tiny. The bathroom had lots of brown on walls, on blow dryer cord, and on baseboard; could have been sand and/or rust starting. Guy in office was not friendly, even when he came to install a mini air conditioner after much complaining. We tried to get money back after being there maybe 30 minutes, but office guy refused and offered to put a note on file for next time… there will NEVER be a next time even if it were a free stay! Would not recommend to friends or anyone!!!

4.0 / 10.0

I’ll start with the positive, as there are some wonderful attributes about this property. First and foremost you are literally right on the beach. One step out of the parking lot and you’re walking in sand. The location right downtown is really convenient to places you want to shop, eat, or just be touristy. Everything is within walking distances of a mile or less. The rooms were a little small, but very clean. Now what I consider the major downside with the “Cove” is there is no air-conditioning in the room. That wouldn’t be so bad, but the rooms also don’t have windows that open just paned glass. And I can tell you that it doesn’t matter how mild thr weather is, if you can’t get the air circulating inside the room, it doesn’t matter. Now they did have multiple fans stowed in the closet and a large ceiling fan. But after a while it’s just blowing hot air around. We would keep our door open until 10:00 so it would cool down a bit so we could sleep. I’d tell you how warm the room was but the thermostat was dangling on the wall. Let’s put it this way, my wife and I were both sweating in the room. Also, most of the guests were outside well into the evening as they didn’t want to be inside their rooms.

5.0 / 10.0

The stay was amazing! Great views, everyday. The room was very clean and nice. Could use some sheer drapes besides the thick curtains. Would’ve been nice to have the drapes open more but with some privacy and capability to enjoy the view still. The bathroom window in my room would not stay up, but I easily remedied that with a tall hairspray bottle to hold it up. I did make sure to mention this to the office staff. Other than that, a wonderful stay with very accommodating hotel staff. Very friendly and appreciated.

5.0 / 10.0

Very good location. Walking distance to everything. Free parking. May be noisy in the day because people passing by and thin walls but very quiet at night. No AC so it can be humid in the room. There is a small heater for cold season. *a message to the receptionist: thank you for contacting me after the room clean up. I accidently left my pants, shirt and undergarment behind the bathroom door and he called me. I was too far going home so i asked him to ship it. Thank you for your honesty.

6.0 / 10.0

I've stayed here before a few years back but never in the room I was recently in. Also, the outside has changed dramatically. I did not like that they changed out the outdoor fire pit for a dolphin statue. It was so nice to sit out there on the cool nights. This time it was just my husband and I so we downsized to the smallest room available and it was so incredibly small it was horrible. There were limitedcoutlets, you had to unplug either the fridge or microwave to run the coffee pot. Unplug the clock to charge a phone. The room was so warm in the afternoon with no AC we had to leave it or leave the door open. Not worth the amount we paid, but I get it, you pay for the veiw and location. The grounds need upgrades and the rooms to compete with the other places close by.

We like this place for the convenience. We park and don't have to leave in the car at all until vacation ends. But the floor was dirty we could feel the same grinding when we walked in and when we got back from a day at the beach then shower drain wasn't working! We went down to front office and no one was there finally someone came and the manager took 15 min to get a hold of. And then they said they called the plumber and it would be 30min minimum before he arrives. We were full of sand and dirty. We decide to change and go to dinner and get back and still not ready plumber is working on and then the owner asks me why we bought sand and told us 2 days ago it was fine and now it's not. We reminded him that we just arrived and checked in today and only 1 of 5 of us got to shower and it was not draining. It would have to have been days of sand pile up. We left again to let them finish come back and now it's 2hrs later and they're cleaning up. Unfortunately, it wasn't fixed. He couldn't give us a new room and only offered us to shower in another room THE NEXT MORNING. My husband demanded we be given a new room now or a room to shower now not tomorrow morning. Mind you it's now 830pm tired and dirty and the thought of going to bed like that felt horrendous especially after paying $300 for a room. Plumber told owner also that this wasn't us. That didn't help he was not being helpful. Finally he agreed to give us another room so that we could shower he allowed us until 10pm.

This hotel it’s really nice close to the beach, pier its like 5 minutes away restaurants, from now on we staying in here in the future great hotel

8.0 / 10.0

We got room 8 which was on a corner and it had good views and we loved that we didn’t have to move our car to go to the pier because the pier was just around the corner. The room was clean and had extra blankets and pillows. It was a bit noisy from the people upstairs and there was also another noise that was very present, probably from the restaurant next store. Overall good hotel but if you like privacy then this is not the place because there are people walking past at all times, we had to close our curtains because people kept looking inside.
