Positive Reviews
positive:
Steps from the beach..
Guests rave about the hotel's location, noting that the "oceanfront" in its name is entirely accurate. Many enjoy the short walk from their rooms to the beach, which is very clean and never very crowded. Beach chairs, kayaks, and paddle boards are available for rent, and there is a shipwreck within paddling distance. There are several restaurants and shops within walking distance as well.
positive:
Clean, comfortable rooms with a view..
Guests generally describe the rooms as very well maintained, quiet, and spacious, with "homey" decor. Many tired travelers report an excellent night's rest in a comfortable bed, and guests in the ocean-facing rooms enjoy exceptional views of the Atlantic from their walk-out balconies. Pet owners appreciate the nearby walking area for their four-legged friends.
positive:
High marks for the staff..
The front desk staff have received many rave reviews for their friendly, informative, and professional customer service, with guests often noting that they are pleased to offer complimentary room upgrades and honor special requests when possible. Compliments also go to the chef and wait staff at the Mulligan's Beach House restaurant.
Negative Reviews
negative:
A little old-fashioned..
Though many guests describe the rooms as comfortable and well-maintained, few deny that the decor and furnishings are dated. Some guests are often unpleasantly surprised by the older building's "motel" design, with exterior doors on the guest rooms.
negative:
A hot night in Vero Beach..
The air conditioning and heating system also seems to be showing its age, as several guests have described it as "musty" or ineffective.
negative:
A few unresolved issues..
Though the staff receive many positive reviews and are widely described as "pleasant" and "friendly", a few guests have reported that they were unable to effectively resolve various room maintenance or other customer satisfaction issues.
