"I was greeted with a friendly welcome, which was short-lived when I questioned my bill. Turned out they add a $15/day fee for parking, which was never brought up, and the lady at the front desk would not compromise. The room was what I reserved but very dilapidated with half-done repairs to the walls. One of the quilts on the beds was markedly dirty and had not been washed. I went back to the front desk, and the lady did not want to give me a clean quilt. I just stood there, so she went to get her husband, who came out and didn't want to help me either. He said -and I quote - "Ma'am, we don't have many things here," implying they didn't have any extra quilts. I replied, "You don't have ANY clean quilts anywhere?" He rolled his eyes and told me to follow him. I followed him through the property to the laundry room where he went in and quickly returned with a folded quilt. This welcome was less than what I had hoped for after a long drive. It honestly was a horrible stay. The cockroaches were more welcoming than the front desk. HOWEVER, the checkout process was smooth and friendly (there was another man who checked us out). And I noticed that other families were enjoying the free breakfast. I didn't poke around to see what was served, but the general mood was joyful. I would never recommend this hotel, and if you are left with no other hotel options, there's always camping, which would be 1,000% better."

"we had a great experience. Everyone was so nice. It was convenient to the beach and also to go to the other side to the Bayside. It’s a beautiful hotel. The management and staff were very nice and gracious and helpful coffee spot on location. Pools were heated and wonderful I recommend."

"AC kept room feeling nice. "

"Great location! We enjoyed the rooftop bar and restaurant!"

"Exactly what I wanted - simple and clean plus ocean front. Its no frills, but the ocean view and price (plus very clean) more than makes up for that. On site parking was easy."

"Everything as expected."

"The hotel was clean and the location was great."

"So... I wanted to book the Best Western Plus next door, but my wife said she stayed at this place two years ago and it was great. By her own account, this time it was a mistake. It is a dirty, not well kept location. Breakfast was ok, but not as good as other Homewood suites. Same breakfast two days in a row, fake eggs (or tasted like fake eggs). We asked 3 times to get our shampoo refilled, never happened. We showered with body wash! Walls in the room were filthy. There was one positive... The fresh cookies according to my son were excellent!"

"Love the vibes, the hotel was so clean, the pool was warm and had clean towels ready . The only con was the lighting in the room was very dim ."
