I'm a local and frequent this beach often for staycations. Have wanted to check this place out for quite a while now but could never find availability when I wanted. I reserved the oceanfront suite w/ kitchenette (only way to go!!) 4 months in advance in order to get the oceanfront room. I wanted to try to check in early but was told the room wouldn't be quite ready by midday so I arrived around 2pm. We stayed in room #201, the view was absolute perfection. Very spacious, comfortable and clean. I personally would have preferred the 3rd or 4th level only because there is a terrace right off the 2nd level where the room sits and people can see into your room any time of day. This may not be an issue for most but I was there with my young daughter. From outside they look a little tinted but I could see my daughter clearly in the room when I sat on the terrace midday so I ended up having the curtains on that side closed while we were in the room and at night closed both shades on the right side. The shades on the left side were open for the view. The 2nd floor terrace is a nice little spot, aside from it being just outside the window. I spent some time out there in the evening and early morning as well as the 5th floor rooftop which was also super nice.
We didn't utilize housekeeping as we left the do not disturb on the door while we were in the room however we took it off while we were out most of the day and the room was the same. I did see someone servicing the room down the hall when we returned but we really didn't need it to be honest. The lock on the door was a little testy at times when we tried to close from the outside. The deadbolt wouldn't let the door close so we had to give the handle on the inside a jiggle in order for it to close all the way. I meant to mention to Nick on Saturday so that they could look into it but I forgot and when I checked out I believe it was Matt who was there but he was checking someone in and I completely got sidetracked. Older property decently maintained, not many outlets in the room for phone and electronics charging, but I'd just unplug some appliances (coffee maker & lamp) in order to free up an outlet or two.
This place is in prime location away from all the hustle & bustle and is within walking distance to other restaurants along the strip. Just a short walk to Lulu's, Rock Bar, souvenir shops, Ben & Jerrys, etc. We went for breakfast, Sunday morning on Father’s Day, right next door at Casablanca's, no line no wait. Amazing mimosas and service as well. The only thing missing from this quaint little spot, is a pool. They have all you need as far as beach supplies go which was convenient as we forgot my daughters goggles and were able to borrow some and head to a pool at another hotel. Unfortunately the beach itself was so full of nasty seaweed, in and out of the water. Haven't seen it that bad in years and wanted no part of it so I got a cheap resort day pass elsewhere that allowed us to utilize the pool and services.
Overall, I would definitely stay here again! Just remember to reserve the good rooms early because they go fast and hopefully the beach won’t be filthy for your visit. Totally worth it, a steal especially in this area. Thank you again for the hospitality and a wonderful weekend getaway with my daughter.
