Well - the photos do not do service to the horribleness of this establishment. I specifically booked as at the Atlantic Ocean Palm Inn for the pool and also beach access. Hurricane Ian took out the pool and also the ability to access the beach. The rooms are very dated - with old towels, bedding and furniture. At the very less the motel should advertise that the pool and beach are not accessible. See the attached photo.

What a horrible experience! Got there and as soon as we opened the door and saw the room, we went down and requestes cancellation, but it was denied! The clerk refused to call management. Story short: the ocean view is through a glass, and the bed is set in an weird position to get that view. The table lamps have to be turned on at the same time. Internet never worked! There is no breakfast. Personell is rude. Bed linen (covers) are obviously not clean. Horrible! And the hotel (it is a motel), is priced at the same rates of the good hotels around. Stay away! Not worth your money and time!

This is a VERY dated property. If you are a college kid on spring break with low standards, then it will do (window rattler air conditioner, tan plastic tub, scratchy towels, cheap shampoo/conditioner/soap, bugs in the kitchen etc). Keep in mind that there is NO POOL and NO BEACH ACCESS right now due to the hurricane. As a woman, I would not recommend staying here alone. Lots of riff-raff, people openly smoking dope in the common areas outside. Never again, and definitely not with little kids. The young man at the front desk was very pleasant and polite.

We booked this room for the pool and access to the beach in Feb 2023. Based on their website as well as a 3rd party site we were sure the location was perfect and the price was right. Unfortunately the hurricanes have taken out both the pool and the beach access. We were not informed of this before checking in. Once we discovered this we wanted to leave, but the manager was not available. We spent 1 night, and the following morning met with the manager and, after several phone calls and trips to the office to cancel through the booking site we were able to cancel and get a refund. I had to provide a great deal of proof to the manager. Including showing him both sites and my confirmation email. I checked their website over a week after and they have not changed anything.

Hotel is very old and showing its age. Needs painting and updating of furnishings. Location and view were great (room facing the ocean). Lot of noise from A/C unit, refrigerator and hotel in general. Walls seem to be thin or poorly insulated.

The good: Great location, dog friendly ($25 pet fee). Helpful and friendly front desk staff at night. Some upgrading of rooms was apparent with new-looking, modern design (but low cost) furniture and recent painting. Room, bathroom and kitchenette were clean. The bad: Bed linens had holes and old stains. Additional renovation/repair of stairwell was underway and loud work began early. In the morning, the manager/supervisor on duty began yelling at housekeeping staff from across the courtyard during which he fired the them. Remaining staff dropped F-bombs routinely as they worked. College spring-breakers probably wouldn't care about any of this but your customers the rest of the year, do care.
