Sea Sprite Ocean Front Hotel

Disappointing Experience at This Overpriced Beach Hotel My stay at this beachfront motel was extremely disappointing, especially given the premium price of $600 per night in July. The accommodations were more akin to a budget motel than a luxury beach hotel. Upon arrival, we found sand on the floors and in the beds, despite not having visited the beach yet. This indicated that the room had not been properly cleaned before our check-in. Furthermore, the sheets had visible stains, and the supposedly "freshly changed" pillowcases were equally dirty. The air conditioning was another major letdown. The in-wall units were broken and replaced by a large, clunky portable AC that barely worked and was incredibly loud. The constant noise drowned out the soothing sound of the waves, which was one of the main reasons for choosing a beachfront hotel. Adding to the discomfort, the hot air exhaust from the portable unit was poorly managed, with a large tube casually hanging out of an open window, allowing the hot air to seep back into the room. Our rooms windows faced the alley. We heard the drunks partying into the night and were woken to the trash truck collecting dumpsters early the next morning. Given these issues, this hotel did not live up to its hefty price tag or its beachfront allure. Next time, I will choose a less expensive hotel a few blocks away from the beach and pay for daily parking instead. It’s clear that a cheaper option with better cleanliness and working amenities would provide a much more pleasant stay.
