First off, this is an older hotel that is in need of a renovation so go in with that in mind. With that being said, the rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff is very nice. What you can't beat about this hotel is the location. The beach access and the little bar on the beach is great! They even had a DJ out in the evenings. We will stay again.

Our initial room had a gaping hole above shower with dirty boot prints everywhere and drywall on floor. Requested new room…received room that air hardly worked in. Room was warm & muggy. Kept it as we only used it for sleep & showering but it was miserable. Hottub water was dirty & jets didn’t work. Need juice in comp breakfast.

We LOVE Emerald Beach. Ron’s are clean and comfy, staff are always willing to help. I just wish that y’all would open the outside bar up or do something more lively. Such a beautiful hotel!

6/10

When booking online , i thought it was more up to date on remodels . But it was just very basic , no breakfast - just bagels and coffee. Very quite rooms but smaller than other hotels . We thought it was gonna give us an ocean view but it didnt give us the option. It was right in the middle of town , very convenient for our one day stay to sight see.

Property was ok overall, not excellent. Pictures on website were better than property. Staff was friendly. 1st night we had no hot water, 1 of the lamps didnt work...when I tried calling front desk to inform of no hot water, phone didnt work. At pool, the pool stand didnt have any pool towels either day. But I can say the beds were comfy.
