We would definitely stay here again. Very clean and quiet. Once you park your car you don’t need to drive again. Close to shopping, restaurants, and a very short walk to the beach. I love that they provided beach chairs!

Amazing property!
Quiet, quaint hotel in the heart of Pass-a-grille - you can walk anywhere. Perfect views of the ocean & sunrise from our unit. Unit was spacious, bed was very comfortable, bathroom was small but didn’t spend much time in there anyways. Great communication from property management team.

Nice and well kept , we really enjoyed being so close to brass monkey and beach access! The only downside I could see was no pool. Hopefully they get one soon!

Walls thin and noise is a barrier to sleep( depending on your neighbor). Smoke alarm chirped for 2 hours. Neighbors were noisy most of the night (2 of the 3 nights). Tenants smoking on porch outside of our door( number 5). Took at least a minute and one half to get hot water - a big waste of water. I reported 2 issues and got no response. The unit was very clean. Location is great.
I have come to Pass-a-Grill every few years for about 20 years and stayed at many places in the area. This was by far the smallest place with the highest price. They reached out at 4:45 pm the day before requesting information to let me check in. They woke me up the second morning with no notice asking me to move my car. The shades on the windows do not block out sunlight. The kitchen is not big enough to have space for a drying rack for dishes. The bathroom is too small to keep from banging your head on the vanity. It is recently renovated, clean, with nice bedding. It's just too small to justify the price but a decent place of last resort if you cannot find anything else available nearby.

The room reserved at La Tortuga was not available when we arrived. There was no communication from the property management company and we were left to find another hotel on our own. Hotels.com did grant us a refund but did not help us find a new hotel for our stay.

Stayed on the first floor Unit 6 and whenever someone on the 2nd floor walked we could hear them moving around. It was quite noisy.
