• Nice view by the beach.
• Nice area.

“The only thing I didn't like about this hotel is the room. The hotel is located in a upscale area, the room I stayed at doesn't look like upscale.”

• I loved being right on the beach and the pool was great.
• Older hotel, no bathtub, extra lock on door.

“For the price the hotel was great. I loved the fact that we were right on the beach. The food was great and the staff friendly. The hotel however does show it's age in many places i.e.: the room doors, no tub, no mini refrigerator, no extra lock on door, etc. I did however feel safe and really enjoyed the beach.”

• Pool, beach access, view.
• Noisy rooms, bathroom.

“Ok for one night, nothing special, for a one star hotel recommendable. Nice are the pool area with the restaurant and the beach access. The rooms are very poor and noisy.”

• It is on the beach.
• The pool is in the middle of a higher class restaurant.

“If you want to see the ocean from the deck, you have to buy something from the restaurant. You can't bring your own drink outside, this includes water or pop, to the beach decks. The noise from the bar is so loud that it is hard to hear the TV in the rooms until about 11 p.m., sleep is impossible until then. Tell the office and they tell you the bar makes the money and the hotel is secondary. Would not return!”

• Location on the beach and price.
• Was not clean, worried about baby crawling around.

“I arrived at 11:55 p.m. To find the lobby dark and locked and no contact information posted on the door. After 15 minutes on hold I pounded on the lobby door out of frustration and a minute later a lobby clerk (who spoke minimal English) turned on the light, unlocked the door and checked me in. The room smelled damp and appears grimy in the corners. I was concerned for my 10 month old baby who was traveling with us. The pool area and restaurant appeared to be much better quality; however we were in no mood to test it out and spent our time elsewhere. This room was good for a place to sleep and nothing else.”

• Absolutely nothing.
• Everything, the mold in the room and the leak that came from the window and under our bed and to our suitcases was not very pleasant with.

“Awful, this hotel has so much damage that has not been repaired from hurricanes that it could be classified as a ghetto hotel. Our room sprung a leak from the window and the staff did not come to check it out until 24 hours later, they offered a single room for 3 people but did not offer the difference between the rooms. I was very unhappy with this hotel. The locals come to the bar and they were no parking spaces, the front office staff is rude, there is maybe 5 feet of sand between the hotel and the water. The tide is up most of the time and you cant go on the beach because the water is all the way up to the hotel. There is mold in the rooms and the floors are slick. I am actually considering hiring a lawyer to get compensated for this most awful hotel room. I paid way to much money to get what I got.”

• Nothing.
• Everything.

“The reservation was for 1 king bed and when I got there (after calling the hotel as the place was nesting between two other buildings); they gave me a room with 2 double beds. The coffee maker didn't work and the room had bad odor but since we were told that the hotel is full there was no point in asking to change the room.”

• The location was the only good thing about this hotel.
• The room was smelly, dirty, moldy and musty. The AC was dripping.

“The smell in the room was very strongly moldy, musty and the AC was dripping and had mold in it. The room was also dirty and the beds were very uncomfortable. I would not recommend this hotel unless you are looking only for location. Please be advised, however, that it is on the water but there is no beach. The water laps at the bottom level of the hotel. The pool was very inadequate small and no place to sit.”

• The location was great,
• Need more clothing chests in room.

“The rooms are clean but need more storage for clothing. There is a language barrier with cleaning staff which can be challenging. This being said the location is great. The hotel is beach front and the beach is beautiful. You are surrounded by condos and hotels that cost three times as much. If you are there for the ocean rather than the room it can't be beat.”

• Nothing.
• No bathtub, dirty floors, no working internet in rooms, no beach as advertised, much more than 20 words allow.

“A claim for false advertisement should seriously be pursued against this hotel. The "beach" is non-existent for most of the day, due to the ocean being up against the sea wall of the hotel. When there is enough beach to walk on, it is covered with huge pieces of concrete that have sharp pieces of rebar hanging out of them. There was not a bathtub in the room, so we were not able to bath our infant. The desk clerk told us to beware because she did not trust the staff. The hotel itself seemed to be deteriorating and falling apart. Our door resembled that of a prison door. This experience has definitely made me more cautious about future uses of the service.”

• Run down quality of room.

“Nice ocean front view from the restaurant and pool, but given the quality of the rooms I would not list this property as a 2-star accommodation. I was overcharged for what I received.”

• Manager offered to move us to a suite because we were not happy with the room we had on the first night.
• The first room has a very noisy air conditioner with water circulating through it.

“The suite we were moved do was not kept up well. The linens on the twin beds have small dark speckles on it (hoping they were not bugs). The walls needed touch up paint. The blinds were bent. A door was missing between the bedroom and the kitchen area. Grout in front of tub needed touch up.”

• This was the worst motel I have been to!
• No trash cans, no paper cups, sink clog with cigarettes.

“This hotel should not be on your list. Beside from the stuff I have mentioned, it was not a smoke free room I requested, didn't have extra pillows or blankets. Didn't have microwave in lobby for customer use.”

• The location, view, bars and restaurant made this hotel a great stay!
• The hotel is old and the rooms reflect that, but it was clean.

“Definitely don't judge a book by its cover at this hotel. There are only 3 hotels on this strip that are right on the beach and this hotel is probably the only affordable one. While the rooms are old, but they are clean, that's all that matters to me. The best part is when you visit the restaurant and bar in the back of the hotel. It was recently renovated and looks like an island paradise. It didn't look like the same hotel you pulled in to! On top of this, the food was great! Fresh seafood and a lot to choose from. The view was awesome, perfect for a relaxing day. There is a small pool also. Kids would probably be bored, but great for a romantic getaway. We stayed for one night and were happy to put our feet up somewhere relaxing.”

• We liked the beachfront, pool and rest. All in the same place. Inn was clean.
• It was rather old and could use some updating, more comfortable beds.

“Overall we enjoyed our stay. Loved the location and the fact that you could walk to other restaurants and shopping. The inn however is older and although quaint, could use updating if fixtures, bathrooms, and bedding. Good food and nice outside bar. We would stay again.”

• Location, that is the only positive.
• Unclean- Ants all thought room. Decrepit. Could not properly secure door, slept and could see outside door from bed.

“Crappy. Excellent location. Dirty. Loud. Ants throughout. Old. Door wouldn't even properly secure. 1/2 to 1 inch gap around door, allowed mosquitoes and bugs to just fly in freely. Very old, not properly maintained. Bar in Hotel appears local drunk tank. Yelling, slamming doors, drunks till 2 am. AC barely worked, kept room "warm". 17 inch TV with no premium channels. Lastly, hotel wake-up call 45 minutes late, and alarm didn't work. Wouldn't stay there for free again. No kidding, and I am not picky. Highly recommend sleeping in car!”

• Location was convenient.
• Rooms were in poor condition.

“While the location of this hotel is convenient, I would not consider it worthy of a two-star rating. The rooms are undergoing remodeling, and perhaps that will improve the quality. During our stay we had to change rooms at 11:00 at night, because the faucet handle broke off and could not be repaired during the day (but didn't notify us until we came back after dinner). The second room had a leaky toilet; we were also shorted towels twice in five days. The pool is closed in the evening because they use the deck for the restaurant. Suggest eating in any of the area restaurants/cafes, as the quality/value of the on-site restaurant doesn't measure up. The location, however, is very near to just about everything. Although the beach in front of the hotel is extremely small, it is within walking distance of other nicer beaches.”

• On the beach.
• Hard to find.

“The address is wrong, it sits South of where it's address tells. Rooms are clean and A/C works well, though the rooms themselves are pretty stark. Bed was comfortable, though the sheets were not perfectly clean. Restaurant is extremely pricey, though the food is excellent - average dinner will cost $70 - $100 for a couple. Staff is friendly and courteous. An ocean view room will cost you dearly - $225/night and up!”

• It's beach front location is excellent, grounds well kept ,staff very pleasant.
• Parking a bit tight, restaurant over priced for quality of food. Doors hard to open or close to rooms.

“My stay was both pleasant, and a worthwhile value. I plan to use you quite often in the future and have already recommended your services to other travelers. My only regret is that I haven't used you sooner.”

• The location was right on the beach. Restaurant around the pool was good.
• Our room had some small insects coming out of the light switches in the bathroom. Some bug spray took care of that issue.

“This is an independent hotel that needs some updating. It is located in a great location on Palm Beach. The beach was great and the restaurant was good. The beds were comfortable. There is no Internet access in the hotel rooms.”

• better towels would be perfect

“Situated near the beaches, it is also very close to nice small shopping areas. And if you fancy for nightlife just drive across the bridge (causeway?) to Lake Ave. where there is a range of restaurants and pubs to choose from.The room is good for either short-term or long-term guests as it has coffee makers, iron and ironboard, hair dryer and plenty of hanging space for your clothes.Only if the bathroom accessories are a bit more posh then it will complete the experience of staying in a classy hotel.”
