I chose the Ocean Sky Hotel and Resort primarily for its location, and in that regard, it gets a 5-star rating from me. The convenience of walking right onto the beach was perfect for my layover. However, the hotel itself needs some care—it’s definitely dated in many aspects.
Upon arrival, my first impression was that of a money grab. I was offered an ocean view for an additional $100, which felt unnecessary. Many amenities, like certain chairs inside the hotel, mini golf, and parking, come with extra fees. Although parking was included with my Expedia booking, it was frustrating to find out that I had to park across the street while the valet service took the better spots on the hotel grounds. Even though we paid for parking, we were relegated to less convenient spaces.
If you don’t mind dated facilities and extra charges, this hotel is very well-located. But for those who value convenience and a more modern feel, you might want to consider other options.
