I was charged an additional twenty for booking through Expedia. The property managers child was yelling down the hall until midnight when the power went out for the third time. And they finally decided to leave the breaker off which meant no fan or lights. I had to use my phone flashlight in the restroom and shower. Plus it was hot and I sweat all night. Don't stay here, it's not worth it.

The hotel has not been updated in years. Towels old and bare not matching. Tv internet spotty always buffering. Ice machine broken and window screen torn. Soap was tiny and didn’t lather up. Only good thing was the lady working in the office she was nice and helpful.

We rented two rooms (104 & 220) 1 night. Upon arriving, the manager asked the housekeeping lady on the balcony if room 220 ready? YES she said. (ready for WHAT is what we should have asked) Rm 220: Upon entering room: blonde and red hairs on the mattress. Within the hour we discovered: inoperable shower, dead electrical outlet, faucet leak wets clothes on counter. (My daughter had to come to our room and shower in 104). Rm 104: Dead electrical outlet When we brought up these issues to the manager, since we booked the rooms through Expedia the manager agreed to refund the fee for each room. If you stay here, beware "Ready" room 220.

It was fine if you just want to sleep. No A/C which you don’t necessarily need. No fridge which I did need. Overall, it was fine to simply sleep there.

STAY AWAY. This is a terrible place. The room was filthy and had a strange musty odor. There were black marks on the walls, and the bathroom door looked as though someone had tried to cover dirt with paint. The shower temperature control handle fell off. The kitchenette sink faucet was so corroded that water spouted out the side. The mattress cover had 2-3” round brown stains on it I’m concerned that I have bed bugs now despite the place saying they have a rigorous bed bug prevention protocol. I’ve stayed in some sketchy spots but this takes the award for the worst.

Just... manage your expectations. It's not a "nice" place, but it's alright. It was sufficiently clean and comfortable; but it's just an old place that needs some maintenence and updating I guess. Staff was very nice! I'm not sure it's worth $200 a night... I'm in not sure if we will stay again. Location is great for walking to several places to eat and the beach though! No AC in the room, so we definitely won't be staying there later in the summer as we were already quite warm in the room no, in April. We were charged an additional $25 for taxes when we checked in.

The title and discription is misleading. There are no 'beach cottages' and the image used for 'beach front view' is approx 2 blocks away. The picture of the 'breakfast' is misleading: no waffle iron ... and according to front desk ... not for a long time ... not just recent OOS. I chose this property because of the beachfront and waffle breakfast! And when asked about the promotiom picture, breakfast pic, pic of the beach and 'cottages', the reception guy was rude, the guy says 'dude-you're at the beach'. Not really ... Plus the dozen-ish ppl in adjacent public pkg lot in evening either doing drugs or an AA meeting. Security car watching. Had trouble sleeping... something biting at my legs in the bed ... maybe sand fleas from my walk on the sand ...? I described the Shore and Cottages beach pic to receptionist at another hotel on the beach.. she said they often get guest arrivals mistaking their property for Shore. This has been going on for some time. Expedia is partly responsible. Needs to monitor its listings. I am a frequent, easy traveler.
