View was good. That was it. The room had an Oder and we killed about 5 flea / nat type bugs. Stairs getting up to room were cramped. Entry was through the back door of the restaurant. Very strange setup

Hotel Needs Some Updates
Issues with mold odor in the room as well as the balcony slider would not open. Building is sagging, so doors are difficult to open and someone will eventually get an injury from this. Stairs up to the rooms need a new carpet as the existing carpets is very dark with dirt and oil. People who work at the hotel were exceptionally friendly and professional. They made a positive difference for our stay.

We booked the balcony, ocean front view which was beautiful. The location is great, right across the street from the beach, next to the general store and restaurant/ bar downstairs. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the roof deck. The only downfall was it felt like more It's more of a party vibe but it could have been because we stayed over Memorial day weekend when it was very crowded.

Nice but wouldn’t come again.
Nice hotel. Overpriced for the amenities and location. Right on beach but no elevators - having an elderly person was tough.
Also parking a bit of a crapshoot. No office open after they roll the sidewalks up so no one to get info from.

Even though it was off-season, we had a wonderful stay at the Stones Throw. It was great to have drinks downstairs ocean front, then go right up to your room.
