Liked: Amenities
Room was very clean. We went in the off-season, we were on the first floor with a small patio looking at the dune. The pavilion to sit and look at the water was very well done. We were put in a room that had a shared door, if you're not staying with the people next to you, it gets very loud and feels like they're standing in your room. At one point they got turned around because they tried to open the door a few times.

Our room was right on the beach front, rolling waves breaking (ar a safe distance). There is a ramp to avoid the stairs when you are transporting luggage. Plenty of restaraunts and retail locally.

Requested beachfront, was behind a dune. Lights flickered entire stay. Floor was ripped worn and sticky. Breakfast was good, a convenient location. Would not stay there again. Don't know what the large building was like.

We really like the updated room but there was only one mirror - in the bathroom (no mirror in the room itself). When my sister was drying her hair & putting on makeup, I had to wait till she was done to dry my hair & put on makeup. Please add at least one more mirror in each hotel room.

We had a relaxing time. The gazebo by the beach was an incredible addition. Loved that!!! In the room, we had a kitchenette which we loved. There were ample pots and pans, although a larger frying pan would have been great, and cooking utensils. But no plates or cutlery of any kind. We had to run into the kitchen and take what we would use. If there is a kitchen, that should be supplied in the room, along with dish soap and sponge. We will know for next time.
