    Great beach access and nice children's playground. The breakfast could use more protein options.

    The location is amazing with direct beach access, and the children's playground is a nice touch for families. The sliding barn door in our bathroom didn't provide much privacy. Would stay again for the views.

    The room was spacious and recently updated, providing a super comfortable atmosphere. I loved the separate counter with a sink outside the bathroom, making it convenient to prepare coffee or snacks. The beds were cozy and the temperature control kept the room just right. the noise level from neighbors was noticeable, especially late at night. Towels needed a hook, and the closet lacked doors. WiFi was fast, but the AC unit was quite loud. A check-in time of 4 PM and no elevator might be challenging for some guests. the room had a lot to offer.

    Clean rooms, clean surroundings with a great view from the balcony where we enjoyed watching dolphins and pelicans in the early morning.

    Nothing, all excellent.

    The location is stunning! I loved the easy access to the beach and the breakfast spread is top-notch with lots of options.

    The walls are thin so you might hear your neighbor's TV blasting.

    My stay was fantastic since I could step right outside my room to the beach, making morning walks along the shore simply breathtaking, plus there are great dining spots like Mama Kwan's Grill and the Beachcombers Tiki Hut just under a 10-minute walk away, and don't miss the Wright Brothers National Memorial which is less than 3 km from here too; the rooms are spacious, quiet, and comfy, though the hotel could improve by offering more housekeeping services during stays.

    This property has potential, but numerous shortcomings hold it back. The beachfront location is excellent, offering easy access to nearby restaurants. Unfortunately, the rooms need significant maintenance. Narrow hallways and stained carpets create an unwelcoming atmosphere. Our room had some updates, but the leaking shower and odd layout detracted from comfort. The breakfast options were acceptable, though coffee in the room would be a simple improvement. Staff were friendly, but lack of service and noisy neighbors disrupted our peace. Ultimately, with better maintenance and attention to detail, this could be a stronger offering. Consider other options if you prioritize comfort and quiet.

    One thing I really appreciated was the location right on the beach - I mean, you couldn't beat that view of the waves crashing. The staff were also super friendly and the proximity to restaurants and activities was a big plus. On the downside, the room had more of a motel vibe than a hotel feel. It felt a bit cramped with limited space between the bed and the fridge. The breakfast was just okay and the room was consistently humid, which was a bit uncomfortable. The free WiFi was a nice touch, but unfortunately, the connection was terrible. I couldn't stay connected for long, and the TV streaming was unwatchable due to lost signals. the air conditioner in our room made a loud clicking noise which made it difficult to sleep. the highlights of the stay were the beautiful beachfront location, comfortable beds, and friendly staff.

    Housekeeping works hard, but you need to request cleaning. The beach is practically a step away, and the pool area with its nice chairs invites relaxation. Breakfast has solid options, and the observation deck is a gem for dolphin watching. My room had issues-water on the floor and a noisy neighbor-but the staff responded quickly to fix things and offered some nice compensations. The walls are thin, and the ice machine is a trek away, but the views from the balcony during sunset made it all worthwhile.

    The staff was really friendly and helped us with everything we needed. The room had a nice view of the ocean and it was clean with good space for families.

    It wasn't exactly cheap but worth the price for the experience.

    The easy access to the beach made our days full of sandcastle building and wave-jumping fun. We also loved spending time at the pool, enjoying the BBQ area, and watching the kids play on the playground. It was the perfect place for our family getaway!

    My wife says that a kids' activity room would have been a great addition.

    I felt like a Wright brother checking out the old plane at the Visitor Center; loved strolling through the antique statue gardens.

    Just adored staring at sand dunes from my room, a real highlight.

    Had a cozy room with a stunning ocean view & comfy bedding. The location was ideal, just a few steps away from the beach with clean facilities for a hassle-free experience. Enjoyed the continental breakfast with waffles, fresh fruit, and yogurt, a convenient start to the day.

    Would have preferred an indoor pool instead of just an outdoor one. The breakfast could use more variety in terms of protein and hot food options.

    Easy beach access, cool pool and playground, and the vibes were just right. Plus, the outdoor activities nearby were epic, from jet skiing to surfing. It was all about the thrills and chills!

    Wish they had a rooftop bar for evening parties, so we could keep the fun going till late.

    Our family had a fantastic time during our weekly vacation at this beachfront hotel. The newly remodeled rooms were spacious and clean, providing a comfortable and relaxing stay. We loved the easy access to the beach and enjoyed the deck and grills for some outdoor fun. The staff was friendly and accommodating, allowing us to check in early and providing great assistance throughout our stay. We would definitely stay here again for a beachside retreat.

    Limited parking availability during our stay.
