    For the price, it should have been better. The person at the front desk was eating popcorn and really didn't care about helping me.

    The view and the bed was amazing! The kitchen had everything that you needed and more.

    Was a bit dirtier than I would’ve expected with the price we paid. And the two rooms didn’t have plug-ins so we had to charge our phones in the kitchen at night. Yes, first world problems but still inconvenient.

    Ocean view was nice. Location was fine. Nice place to stay at when you plan on being out for the day. Staff were really nice. You can rent DVDS and board games. Fun times. Right by a beach entrance.

    Cool old place. We stayed in one of the bungalows. Generally, really satisfactory, but for the price, there should be at least four bottled waters in the fridge. Also, the bed and pillows were horrible. Cushy bed with zero support. Also, outside light made it really hard to sleep, as the blinds don't keep the light out. In the morning, sun made it impossible to sleep. I basically didn't sleep more than a few hours.

    Stains on the carpet, uncomfortable mattress in one Bed room light in bathroom flickered and small shower head made for a very short person.

    The view and convenience to the beach were wonderful. The kitchen had everything we needed and it was so nice to find accommodations For a family of 5 without booking two separate rooms.

    Took family this time.. they didn't like the back bed it saged in the middle too much, The bathroom was hard to see in so we had to use a flashlight. Because the one light above the sink took way too long, too, come on

    The view is wonderful The staff is wonderful also We like staying here and have a few times I even wrote a poem about it the last time we were there

    Nothing stands out

    The view, having a small kitchen, the bed was very comfortable. The hot water went out but they have on demand so we had it within 5 minutes. Ice machine on property, being able to walk on beach had great access. Very helpful friendly staff. We would stay there again for sure.

    A few members staff were a bit frustrating, on three separate occasions, twice when verifying and once when I arrived the staff either could not find my reservation or insisted I had a completely separate reservation from the one I booked.

    The location was amazing

    Not a big deal, but could use a remodel. Water pressure very low in the shower, microwave rusted on the inside, and furniture is quite worn. I still enjoyed my stay.

    Gorgeous view, friendly staff. Great stay with my dog.

    The consistency of the water was an issue in the shower. It was either scalding or tepid. There also wasn't really a shower head. It's right next to the road so it's a little loud.

    I remember going to the Ester Lee with my grandma in the 80's. The hotel was clean and comfy. We could see the ocean from our room with chairs facing the window. The staff was super helpful and accomodating.
