"Stayed in the Cabana Room for 5 nights, was a nice room for 2 people. However, received a text during our stay that the Historic Lobby of the hotel would be closed for two days due to a filming event, so we never really got to see the hotel outside of our room and explore what it had to offer (historic lobby, spare room, etc.). On our last day the lobby was open so we walked in and got told by security they were “watching us on the cameras wander around”, questioning if we were guests and that we needed to leave. Rude tone/comment to make considering he would have seen us on the cameras come from our hotel room. When we explained we were staying at the hotel and wanted to see inside he told us we couldn’t be there because of ANOTHER event being held in the room next door, that was never made aware to guests. Also found dried up eye contacts in the bathroom, and hair in my chicken tacos when we got lunch. For the amount of money you spend and amenities unavailable, staff could be nicer."
"The location was very convenient and safe. The free bike rental was awesome and we used them bike to nearby restaurants, stores and going down the boardwalk"
"Rooms are stripped down, no furniture other than a counter and cheap plastic chair. Glass panel instead of bathroom wall. Great location, excellent staff."
