The room had a very modern look. It included a fridge, coffee maker, microwave oven, and stove for appliances. Seemed like a home away from home. Love the location and the price is decent for what it includes.
Nice place. New and clean. Rooms have kitchen with fridge, microwave, basic dishes toaster and small coffee maker. Small closet and many TV channels. Grat bend and mattress. One negative is check in in next building and you are not informed. Also laundry room and ice machine is there. Pool is availabile. The place was very quiet, when we staid here, but walls are very thin. Nice experience for me.
Parking is $10 extra and the check-in office is at Beach Garden hotel a few buildings down. Simple nice modern looking rooms
This was a great experience for a college spring breaker. The staff was very friendly and the rooms were very nice and spacious. It included a kitchen, but warning there was no oven. It came with a microwave, full size refrigerator and sink with utensils including pots and pans! I would recommend this place for all. Unfortunately, it was really hard to get a hold of the front desk whenever we needed anything considering there is no office at The Reef and it is instead 2 buildings over. Would love to come again! The area that all the spring breakers go to is about 10 minutes away and not too bad of a walk.
All staffing amazing! Had a problem signing into web and had a fast response time to fix it. The girl who helped had to go through rain to help. Going above and beyond the call of duty. Nice pool area and grilling patio.
Not the fanciest place but we always enjoy staying here or in the other North Beach Village buildings. The location is amazing just a few blocks to walk to the beach. Staff have always been very friendly and helpful. Prices are affordable and has all the basics you need, rooms are clean and has nice laidback apartment vs hotel feel.
Stayed one night before a cruise. Friendly staff, clean comfortable room.
Great location. Cheap. Free upgraded room. Nice staff. Clean. Odd check in procedure.
Lively beachfront area with bars, nightclubs, a scenic promenade & Bonnet House Museum & Gardens.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in Florida. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
