8/10 Good
"The stay was a decent value. Excellent access to the beach - loved the little community porch facing the water. Hotel room had the basics we needed, nothing extra. The beds are uncomfortable - my partner was painfully stiff each day. The ice machine in our building was broken for the duration of our stay. The included breakfast was better than expected - boiled eggs, muffins, waffle making station and juices. Pool is far too cold to use in September, but was clean and kept up well. We had a private balcony, but it was within two feet of the ramp everyone uses for the beach. Overall, appreciated the beach proximity."
