In need of updates

In need of updates. The beds are horrible, not comfortable at all. There's rust around the doorways and on the stove. The hotel was nice overall, but it really needs to update. Great views and access to the beach.

Hotel is nice but elevator rugs need to be cleaned. The bathroom floors need better scrubbing and kitchen cabinets sink.

We loved that it was right on the beach and my kids enjoyed the pool. They do not provide hardly anything in the room such as shampoo or even hand soap so make sure you bring that with you

You have to make sure you get the ocean front room. Or you be across the street at a motel. The advertising picture on Expedia is ocean front but it’s not be careful

I loved this location I just would love if they replace beds and have a place by bed to charge my electronics. But for the most part I would definitely recommend and go back
