Guest Reviews

• Jason (8/5): -
• Mason (10/5): -
• Kimberly (10/5): -
• Lauren (8/5): Great location - Great location and liked that you could use each of the hotel pools Parking was very tight
• Jessica (2/5): Staff wasn’t helpful, they had no parking, no wifi, outdated facility-bathroom fan didn’t even work.. - How close it was to the beach How busy the area was and there was a parking spot for our vehicle. Check in and out wasn’t even at hour hotel-it was down the street.
• Kevan (10/5): -
• Kimberly A (8/5): it was very nice - the train all hrs it shook, the hold building felt like a earthquake was scarey the first time
• Lawrence (8/5): The stay was good except the bed. - The bed was leaning to far toward the head board , the room was extremely warm.
• Bost (10/5): -
• Racing1278 (7/5): Good for a night - Thin walls, soft floors and stairs. Room was listed as pool view, it look out to the side of another hotel, the pool was on the other end of the bldg. We need somewhere to sleep for the so for that it was OK. The walls were then and the set up as I would fall asleep some one would be coming or going and the doors slammed so it wakes you right up. The door was not sure as you could see light around it and the key does not work for the deadbolt just the know lock. The bed was not super comfortable and if I needed a place for more than a night this would not be it. The train goes by it during the night so there is that as well. Parking near you room is pretty much non existent if you don't check in early but they have lots along the road. For the ocean it's off the back of the hotel so that's not bad but we did not walk out to see how it was as it was dark by the time we found the building, room and put our stuff down. The staff at the main building were very nice, that had coffee set up in the main area which is not near where our room was but they are nice. The pictures are from the end of the building, our room was on the side looking toward the hotel next door as you can the edge of it in one picture. I did get a few pictures on our way out the next morning.
• michael (8/5): - Nice, they shpuld tell you about checking in at a different property though.
• Ryley (8/5): - Had a great view on ocean front, worth the upgrade! Hotel is quaint, she’s been well loved:) Beds were comfortable and staff was very accommodating. Enjoyed our stay!
• Michael (8/5): - Close to airport and off peak, beach was nearly empty in the evening.
• Alexandra (10/5): - Great stay! Would stay again!
• Brett (8/5): - Ocean front with a beautiful view of the ocean.
• marie (6/5): - Needs some updating and bathtub wasn’t draining properly when showering
• Kathleen (6/5): - Did not like the bed. The mattress had a slope to it. So my head was lower than my legs. Parking was pretty difficult as well.
• Jayce (10/5): - The room was very clean and spacious, facing the pool and the ocean within walking distance, 👍👏
• Tiffany (2/5): - Very old hotel with no updates, carpet floor with no vacuum and no housekeeping during the stay. None of the outlets on the wall worked and had to use the only one on the table. Bathroom door would not shut. Morning shower only had blaring hot temperature and would not cool down. Difficult to find room was never instructed it was on the 3rd floor which would have been nice to know with 3 little kids. Could not find parking and had to park across the road. No one came to get towels outside of room so they sat there for a day. Would never stay here again
• Wiers (9/5): Overall comfortable & enjoyable - We loved the view! The kids lived the pool! We know it wasn't any staffs fault & they did take care of it very promptly but when we arrived there was another guest occupying our room so therefore it was over an hour before we could get into our room. This also put us over the pool closed time & wasn't able to enjoy the ocean view via the balcony before dark. They did say they give us a 20% discount on the room but haven't received it back yet on the credit card
• Elizabeth (8/5): - Checking in was difficult as it was raining and we had to wack 1/4 mile down the road to check In. It would have been nice if they let us know in advance where check in was .
• Mirjam (4/5): - Nähe zum Strand. Sehr laut durch die Bahnlinie direkt hinter der Unterkunft. Schlechte Kuechenaustattung, Ausstattung, der Unterkunft als beschrieben. Für das Sngebot viel zu teuer.
• Rosemary (6/5): Seaview - The location was great. We were close to the ocean and everything we wanted was within walking distance. The room however was horrible. The bathroom sink was for a litttle kid and all around the tub was rusty and paint was peeling. The beds were not horrible but I have slept in alot better in hotels. It doesent look like it has been updated since the 70s. We wanted maid service and were gone most of the day. They came to clean when we were back in the room changing in the late afternoon so we did not get maid service. There were 5 of us and we could hardly move the room was very small. Will probably not stay there again.
• Robert (9/5): -
• Robert (4/5): - Plugged my phone charger in and the power went out first night! Took an hour to get back on Place is almost 400 a night you would expect to get a first class experience but definitely not Place hasnt been updated since it opened seems like. I would never bring my family there again! The pool was good!
• Mark (8/5): - It was very convenient to the beach and to walk to town the staff was very attentive and nice
• Deborah (10/5): We had a perfect family vacation everyone had a blast -
• Robert (7/5): - Nice old motel, parking was okay Had a couple of pots and pans, but the covers were too small and had broken cover handles. No lighting at cooking area .No chairs to sit in,just bar stools at the small homemade table
• Eric (8/5): - Ramon is the best
• Megan (8/5): -
• Dennerly (10/5): Amazing!! - Closeness to the ocean Heated pool was a little too hot to enjoy
• William (8/5): - Great view. Close to everything.
• Zoppo (9/5): Great stay for large family! - Loved the location and distance to both the beach and boardwalk. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go The price was steep and needs some upgrading but clean overall
• Andrew (3/5): Had there been a single honest image of this place, I wouldn't have bothered with it. - The hotel is on the beach and has a nice little pool and grilling area. It was closed for maintenance while we were there but you were allowed to use pools at neighboring facilities in the interim, if you were so inclined. This place is old. Not "quaint". Old. The floor sloped radically from one end of the room to the other. The furniture looked like it'd be attacked by a pack of feral cats. The kitchenette I paid extra for was little more that a closet with a hotplate in it. Full greasy hand print visible on the wall in the bathroom where a previous guest had steadied themselves mid relief. Avoided the shower all together. Walls were terribly thin. The amorous activities of our neighbors shook our headboard (thankfully, the effort was comically brief). Check-in was in A DIFFERENT HOTEL down the street. The lobby of this place was closed. Parking lot was very tight - I had to crawl into my car through the trunk when I went to leave. The "room with a view" had a window that looked out onto the gangplank where all of the other patrons of that floor of the hotel had to walk past and if you looked at just the right angle, past the side of the adjacent building directly across the way, yes, you could see the water. Didn't love everyone else looking in on their way to their rooms; drew the curtains tight. Had there been a single honest image of this place, I wouldn't have bothered with it.
• Amanda (10/5): Great for a family! - 2 room suite was super clean and comfortable for 6 of us! 2 to each bed! Perfect walk distance to the Pier for us!
• Diane (6/5): - Great location.
• Alaina (8/5): - I love staying in this area. It's right on the beach, with a heated pool, and walking distance to the pier. We have been here 2 years in a row and plan to keep going.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Spotless and trendy bedroom, bathroom needs update - The main bedroom space is pleasantly updated however the kitchen was just okay and the bathroom could definitely use an update as it still has a tiny, low toilet and yellow gold bathtub and sink. The entire room was very, very clean which was very nice to see.
• Lisa (4/5): - We didn't like the fact that we booked the room in advance for 2 nights and then were notified weeks later that that after the first night we would have to move out and into another room because it was overbooked somehow. It affected out morning activities that we had scheduled because we had to wait until the next room was ready before we could movie out of our other room but they also wanted us out of the original room so they could get it ready for the other people who apparently had the same room booked as us. Our television didn't work so we had to have maintenance come in 3 times to try to fix it. There were people in the next room to us hanging out on the porch blocking our way to get by and they were smoking up a storm so the entire porch stunk like cigarettes. As we tried to walk out of our room down the hallway, they didn't even attempt to move over so that we could get by or even attempt to move their cigarettes from hitting us as we tried to squeeze by. Parking was very tight as well. we had a difficult time finding a spot to park and then when we did, it was very difficult to get into. Lastly, when we went to get into bed (room 27) my sister felt either crumbs or sand in her bed under the covers. Other than that we liked the beach area.
• Rose (10/5): Exceptional -
• Brianna (8/5): will be coming back to this hotel!! - the price for being right on the beach, walking distance from restaurants, shops and the fair grounds was amazing. the heated pool was really enjoyable. the pool was definitely too hot though. the hotel was really comfy and cute.
• Bonta (8/5): Spectacular location and great room options for bigger families with the best pools in town! - We really loved the location overall!! the pool was so warm we all loved that and getting to do night swimming!! having our own access to the beach is the best and the room (2bedroom suite) had plenty of room for a family five. I really wish there was one king bed in the two bedroom suites ! & Everything has gone up in price so it’s really not a complaint, but I just wish that it could’ve been a little cheaper!
• Vince (8/5): - Being the beach was just steps away was great. On the other hand the Wi-Fi was absolutely terrible. The cost per night was expensive but it was a good vacation for us having never been there before.
• Kelly (10/5): - Great location. Easy and quick access to the Beach. You can use the other pools/jacuzzi's next door (owned by same company). We liked this as each pool was different. One was heated, one wasn't and one was salt water with a jacuzzi.
• Victoria (10/5): - What a wonderful stay! Will definitely recommend this to my family and friends. Looking forward to booking in the future.
• ROSSEMARY (10/5): - We stayed in the rooms facing the Ocean and the view was incredible! The beach is walking distance, and the pool was always clean and warm. They have grills for barbecuing poolside and are walking distance to all the attractions, such as the pier, carnival and many dining options! Definitely coming back soon!
• Natalie (8/5): - Ideal location, clean and staff was friendly. The only thing I would suggest is have staff better expain what room to go to...a map maybe. We went to a room with the same number as our suite and unlocked the door to find it wasnt our room and someone else was in there. Which means, 2 different rooms with the same key. Made us feel a little unsafe with children . Otherwise a great stay!
• Tina (10/5): - This was by far the best place we have ever stayed.it was clean and quiet. The staff was so helpful and curtious. I would definitely recommend this place and will also be staying there in the future.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Horrible - I have stayed there for years and never had an experience like this because we booked through hotels.com we got the worst room ever and when we called and told the office it was dirty and in a back alleyway when it was supposed to be Ocean view side we were next to the laundry in the basement outside of the room where bags of garbage and dirty laundry from somebody's previous day the room was disgusting when I called the office and told them they said they have rooms available but I would have had to book them directly through the hotel to be eligible for them. After a lengthy battle with who claimed to be the manager I was able to pay more to get a clean room decent room. So basically because we booked through hotels.com we were put in the bowels of the hotel and they probably count on people complaining but it will cost you additional money to stay in a clean acceptable room. We found out that maid service was with the room but we didn't find out till after 4:00 one day so the maid told us to leave the card on the door that said clean room please we did that at 10:00 a.m. at close to 4:00 it still wasn't cleaned I called the front desk asked if we could get more towels and such and have the room cleaned the manager again with attitude said she'll be there before her shift ends which was around 4. They managed to leave a bitter taste in my mouth about this hotel extremely disappointed.
• michael (8/5): - This is are 4 year in a row. Love this place. Clean rooms. Great view. Staff is really good. Bug for the third time problems with the pool. They got it filled and back open pretty quickly, but not yet heated. Will take time for that. But love coming here. Close walk to pier and downtown.
• Brunilda (4/5): - They gave us a room in the back annex , under some stairs- like a hidden spot. We were right next to the laundry/ cleaning services room, and our windows were under the stairs on one side and facing a higher wall on the other side. It felt like if we were in a basement. When we booked it, it said nothing about it and the images posted gave you a completely different impression. I texted them after we got to the room, complaining about the location, and they didn’t reach out or anything. The reception was in a different building and we would have to go back there to talk in person.
• David (4/5): - Had to walk three blocks to another hotel to check in and check out. After traveling over 300 miles on motorcycle in the rain i was ready to check in and get out of my wet gear walking three blocks in wet gear wasn't very convenient
• Elmer (10/5): - Very clean, love the atmosphere 👌
• Jessica (10/5): - Room was nice & pool was warmer second day we was there
• Phyllis (10/5): - I liked everything about it
• Roger (10/5): - Great room facing the ocean. Very spacious and comfortable. The only negative was the little kids in the room above. They were excited to go to the beach and ran around their room making a ton of noise. Happy for them. Not good for sleeping till check out.
• Catherine (6/5): - Satisfactory beach hotel
• Maura (10/5): - The grounds are kept up nice. Nice ocean view and clean room. Love the peace and quiet.
• Randy (6/5): - Unpleasant conditions
• Leone (6/5): - Nice to be near o wan. Could hear. Loud walking of people upstairs. When they were using shower was extremely loud where I was downstairs. Not dirty but well worn . Needs paint and updated fixtures. Updated plumbing.
• Jeremy (5/5): Passable -
• Paul (10/5): Very good - Liked close to main street
• Phyllis (10/5): - Great
• sellvt (2/5): Worst Room Ever! - OMG, worst room I have stayed in for years, and I travel a lot. Started by booking the room at the owners really nice check in area, not realizing I was being sent to a building, three buildings away! Room was disgusting, and no parking right there, had to park my car across the street and up a ways in a parking lot! Room was too small for the furniture, meaning that you had to slide by the dresser and bed, because there wasn't enough room to actually walk past the bed. Mold looking fungus on the front of the door, the room smelled when we walked in, which makes sense. No window that opens. Bare minimum water pressure in the shower, and no coffee in the morning unless you want to walk all the way over to that other building. Yes, coffee machine in the room with powdered creamer. Yuch. Bugs flying around inside the room. Just a very old decrepit room, and $200+ for one night, the weekend after Labor Day! Yes, you could walk out of the room, and through the parking lot that was full, out to the beach.
• Donna (8/5): - Once our room was charged we were happy!
• Eduards (10/5): - Great access to beach and pools
• Anne Marie (10/5): - Super belle vue de l'unite en face de la piscine Lit tres confortable Mais tapis , besoin de l'aspirateur SVP Cuisine et salle de bain veillot mais tres propre Manque quand meme de la vaisselle, apporter des ustensiles en plastique et assiettes Merci , la piscine est propre et chaude , Yes On a ete tres contente de notre sejour Moi j'y retournerai 😎😎
• Sara (7/5): Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Sew View and would be happy to stay again in the future! - The property was great location wise as it was a short walk to the beach or down to the pier. We loved that it had a picnic table and sitting area outside our room for us to hang out. We didn’t like the full size beds that were in our 2 bedroom quiet. For 2 adult couples, it made sleeping a bit uncomfortable. If the beds were queen size, we all would’ve slept a bit better.
• Rebecca (8/5): - Loved that we could walk down the beach to the waves hotel and hit their hot tub. Only drawback is parking is far and few
• Sarah (6/5): - The pool was great! Warm and perfect given the colder and cloudy weather we experienced. Our daughter LOVED it. Beyond the pool, the stay was just okay. The towels we received were dirty and smelled musky. The bed sheets (I noticed day 2) were dirty at the bottom corner. I requested new bed sheets and was given one scratchy blanket. I had to call a second time to get a full set. When I called for additional towels, I received a bag full but they were stinky and some had visible dirty markings. I had to call again for clean ones. There is no room service which is a huge disappoinment. The building itself is aging and doesn't appear to get the upkeep it needs and deserves to keep it flourishing. deck boards are loose and the floors are drooped and have soft spots. Structurally its a little scary. There were zero room decorations and no beach decor, extremely disappointing. Lacked a personal feel. Very dated overall and still super expensive. I was disappointed to learn it is part of the Lafayette profile and that they are buying up all the OOB properties. Would much prefer a mom and pop feel and to stay where the owner takes pride in their place and their customer's experience.
• MICHAEL (6/5): - Very old and dated rusty.
• Heather (9/5): Superb - Great location!! Bed was too hard.
• Lucio (8/5): - Property is very outdated for the studio rooms, plumbing sucks. Pool was fine, easy access to the beach and attractions. Furniture can be updated.
• X3409MCkeithb (4/5): Meh. I don’t recommend - We found out later what Oceanside means: It means the ocean is out there and you’re on the side of the building. Zero views unless parking lot counts. We were on the second floor - the second to last room. The windows are like fishbowls. They do not open, and your choice is either to draw the heavy drapes closed for any semblance of privacy or else anyone walking by has full view of your room. Since these are shared balconies people walk by to access the stairs. They do provide flimsy dollar store chairs outside your room, but it’s not clear which room they belong to because there are not enough to go one per door. Now for inside: the carpets were filthy, the linoleum floor was dipped with soft spots under it. The “kitchenette“ was something that looked like from the 1950s. There were two electric burners, and at some point it looked like there was an oven that was screwed shut with drywall screws. When you opened the upper cabinet doors, they scraped the drop ceiling and hit the recessed lighting. It’s obvious that this has been the case for a long time because there were track marks where the cabinets scraped the ceiling. The bathroom decor made it up to the 1970s. With a blue tub and old and worn fixtures. We did eventually get a shower curtain when we called the main office which was three blocks away. They sent a runner. Reported broken glass in the driveway which was a concern for the young children. We picked it up the next day when no one came. The heated pool was nice. There. Something positive.
• Catherine (6/5): Overall we had a good stay but the room didn’t meet our expectations for the price. - The location is great ! The beach is in front of the hotel and the restaurants and bars only few blocks away. The room was very clean The lady at the front desk was extremely rude. The Sea View building itself is beautiful, but people who reserve from Booking.com are put in another building which is part of the motel next door. Much less beautiful, with a parking lot view . 😟
• Stephen (8/5): A good experience overall. - Everything was close by meaning everything we needed was easy to find,staff was courteous with our requests. Overall was very satisfied. Info was lacking in terms of the blue Lafayette book that gives you info as to where to get ice had to explore to find, wife had to make guide to know what channels were what on tv , we were in a suite which only had overhead recessed lighting a lamp in the sitting area and bedrooms would have been nice, please do not take this as knock on our stay we were happy. Just some things we wanted to point out, we could tell improvements were being made and is work in progress.
• Elizabeth (4/5): - The room itself was ok but the location was awful.... basement room behind the laundry area. It was like being in a cave.. not worth 572.00 a night . Parking was a bit of a walk.
• Carrie (8/5): - The room is extremely expensive and basically you’re paying for the location. The building that we stayed in was pretty rundown. Our room was spacious and clean, but again older. I believe this property has three buildings. We stayed in Seaview. Super convenient to walking to the beach just steps away We also had an ocean view room, which was nice, but we really weren’t up high enough to see much
• Melissa (10/5): - Loved being able to share other property pools and parking option for second vehicle
• Sonya (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dumais (10/5): Cannot wait till next year,we will be back for a longer stay - Do not know anything about breakfast,but the location was the best could not have been in a better spot!!!! Nothing...loved everything!!
• Susan (8/5): Very good -
• Vicki (7/5): Sea View Inn OOB - Close to the ocean Comfort of the bed Clean pool Close parking Room location was horrible 4 women 1 roll toilet paper, empty tissue boxes, Only one set of towels each
• Krista (8/5): Great Time! - We enjoyed our stay at Seaview! The positives: It had everything we needed (could've used a regular coffee maker over a keurig) since there were 3 coffee drinkers but it was fine. Everyone was friendly, staff was always onsite for anything we needed. The hotel was very convenient to everywhere we wanted to go and it was clean and comfortable. The negatives: We did not appreciate having to pay to park our 2nd vehicle even though the overflow (free) lot was mostly empty at all times. Also, no one warned us of the 11:30PM, 2:30AM and 5:30AM train that comes by and lays on the horn! That was a surprise to wake up too. Lastly, the market on the corner did NOT have much and we did have to walk to the dollar stores to get the food/snacks we wanted. We did enjoy our stay though and will most likely return.
• Yvonne (8/5): Very good -
• Peter (10/5): - Great place right in the beach. 2nd year in a row here.
• Nelson (10/5): - Great sea side inn
• Rebecca (8/5): What i requested is bot what i got. - The stay was good. But it was not what I requested. I reserved for handicap with walker and 5 people. When we arrived we were on the second floor and only roon for 4 people to sleep.
• Lindsey (8/5): It was a very pleasant stay. Staff was active in the morning to clean out rooms and give fresh linens if needed. The noi - The pool was so nice when the beach was windy and too cold to go into the water. Tan on the beach, take a dip in the pool. The water pressure in the bathroom/kitchen area was a bit wonky. Cold water didn’t have a full stream and the showers got REALLY hot.
• Patricia (8/5): - We enjoyed our stay close to beach and shopping Our room had a kitchenette which was very nice We could walk to everything which meant no driving Very enjoyable
• Daniel (10/5): - Property was great. Staff were very present and working hard to keep everything clean and tidy. They did a great job keeping up with the cleanliness of the pool. Our room was an ocean view room with a kitchenette which was stocked well. It had enough pots and pans and various utensils to be able to make a great breakfast and smaller meals. They also had a keurig coffee maker and a toaster and microwave along with a dorm style fridge that had a small freezer slot in it. There are also three grills out in the pool area that you can use. ( they did have a can opener also) Being able to use the various pools on the sister properties was a win also. The pool at our place was heated and was great but if you wanted something a tad cooler you have access to the one literally next door. The walkway to the beach was nice. Being in between the two properties it almost was like having your own private area as due to the fact most people that are visiting for the day will generally park in one of the public lots way down by the pier and tend to not venture too far down the coastline to where we were. It was a very short walk to the pier and rides…and I’m walking with three kids aged 9,6, and three. Now the great part about being close to the pier but not right in the action is you won’t have to worry about the noise from the rides and the various places that have bands playing late. All in all it was a great place for my family of five to stay and enjoy our time together
• michael (8/5): - This was our third year staying here. Good rooms and beds. Little outdated bathrooms but clean. Great staff. Easy parking. Right on beach. Pool is mostly great. Was cold first few days then warmed up. Talk to staff and they said it was cold outside. But pool is heated or was heated. Would stay again.
• Toni (2/5): Stay away - I have several problems with The Sea View Inn and suggest you seek alternate accommodations for your stay in Old Orchard Beach. I booked a room at The Sea View Inn in OOB via Hotel .com. The advertisement for The Sea View Inn does not inform you that the hotel lobby and check-in are at another property, The Waves Resort. The Waves is the main property, and they control services for The Sea View Inn, The Ocean House, and the Gull. I was only informed of this the day before my check-in when I got an e-mail telling me where check-in was. I concede that this may be a hotel .com issue, but I have not gone to The Sea View Inn website to make sure. We got to the property early. Our room was not ready, so they took my number and said they’d call when ready. They never called. After the 3 pm check-in time, we finally went back and picked up our keys. Actual keys, not magnetic key cards. This hotel has not been updated or renovated in a ridiculously long time. The hotel room is very old and worn and needs to be renovated. There are soft spots on the floors. I was sure I was going to fall through the floor. The bathroom is straight out of the 50s with a blue tub and blue sink and ZERO water pressure. The drop tile ceiling is super classy as well. There was also a sign letting us know that to keep us and their staff healthy, they would not be cleaning the rooms daily. But don’t worry, they provided a broom and dustpan so that we could clean our own room. The sign also asked us to take o

This was more likely because they were short-staffed. The phone looks like one I have not seen since the 80s and works as well as if it is from the 80s. Each property has a pool, and you can use any of them. However, there are no pool towels or towel returns located on the property… nor on any of these properties. You must call the lobby, and they have maintenance bring you the towels. When we called the lobby, we could barely hear the person on the other end and had to repeat ourselves many times. We waited for 45 minutes, only to find out that what they bring is the same as the bath towels. The next time we needed towels, my friend just walked to the front desk a block down the road at The Waves, and she was discouraged from doing so and told us to call again the next time we needed something. So, we are supposed to call on a barely working phone and then sit in the room and wait. That is ridiculously bad customer service. Finally, we were ready to go sit by the pool, and it was 90 degrees out; we wanted to enjoy our summer without the risk of melanoma, so we always wanted to sit under an umbrella. Well, at the Sea View pool, the only umbrellas are attached to picnic tables. Not exactly the lounging and relaxing summer day by the pool I envisioned having to sit at a picnic table. The Sea View pool is also the only heated pool. We checked out the pool at The gull – no shade, no umbrellas at all. The Waves pool – no shade and no umbrellas. The pool at the Ocean House has 2 umbrellas that you can drag and move to put over a lounger. FOUR hotels, and they provide TWO umbrellas. I guess they want us to buy them from their little store?! That is super greedy. I travel extensively and have been to many oceanfront resorts in Florida and the Caribbean, and every hotel provides many umbrellas over not only tables and chairs but loungers as well. I guess the Sea View and associate properties would like all their guests to get sunburnt and melanoma. We also asked for a late checkout. Given that our room was not ready early, it seems reasonable that they should accommodate this request. NOPE. Normal check-out is at 11 am Theirs is 10 am. Our flight did not leave until 4. We asked if we could stay parked and enjoy the pool or beach until we needed to leave, and again… NOPE. We could only park there until noon and then had to GTFO. I will never return. I suggest you avoid the poor customer service and rundown rooms and book elsewhere for your beach stay.
• Steed (9/5): Superb -
• Slater (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was clean and the staff was friendly and helpfur. no elevator
• Phyllis (10/5): - Very friendly
• Crystal (4/5): - Had to leave early, beds sucked didn’t sleep, wouldn’t refund me my last day as I left early… had mice get into my car and built a nest in my dashboard. Pots and pans they supplied were rusted and all messed up. Took the mini fridge 24hours to cool something down.
• Jordan (10/5): - Thank you for a great stay
• Josue (10/5): - Very close walk to carnival, arcade, & dining options. Only steps away from beach. Great for families with kids.
