Bikini Beach Resort

No breakfast

Can't beat the location. It is a matter of time before someone with money buys this location and remodels this place with a bulldozer.

Think chainsaw motel scene in the movie Scarface. I read the reviews (Hint #1) and had concerns but also read the managers responses that said the place was in the middle of renovation and under new management so I figured I'd give it a try. This was a last minute family trip to the beach on Presidents Day weekend and every place else had a two night minimum except Bikini Beach (Hint #2). The people who work at the front desk and housekeeping were very nice and the location is literally steps from the beach. That's where the positives end. This place was probably nice in the late fifties and if you're into original vintage experiences, then this place is for you. By the looks of things the only thing new from the "renovations" is the paint. I could tell this by noticing the rust under what was painted. Other than paint, I saw no evidence of renovations, and if there truly where renovations done then I can't imagine what it was like before. If I could do it all over again I would have just stayed home and planned ahead. I'll gladly pay double ($180/night) what I paid to not stay there again.
