The property received a lower overall and cleanliness rating because of the age of the property. It is very apparent that the cleaning and general upkeep is being done, but with the age and the proximity to the beach I'm sure they are doing all they can with what they have. The restaurant was great for dinner and breakfast, the front desk staff and the cleaning staff were all great. I will definitely return.

Pool was very dirty. Tables are rusted through. Karaoke is annoying if you actually wanted to take an afternoon nap to recharge for the evening. Rooms are dated but tolerable. Pillows are lacking. Wasn't disappointed bus not impressed. Check in was easy.

Property was fine. You have to take out your own trash at the end of your stay though which I found somewhat strange. Overall very good and we will return

For the money and availability for an ocean front room, It was worth it. The hotel was old and outdated but we were there for the Beach not the Ritz-Carlton. There's smoking going on around the property but it wasn't too overwhelming. The room was clean and comfortable.

Enjoyed our stay; property needs updating & some repairs. Door stuck terribly. Room was very clean! Need an early key drop off box or the ability to leave keys in room for early checkin. Office/lobby wasn’t unlocked at the advertised 8:30 time on sign so we dropped ours at Elliott’s!

This is an older property that needs some attention. However, the room was clean and the beds comfortable. If you are looking for a reasonable price and basic accommodations, you won't be disappointed

We had a great week here July 2025. Nice that there’s a cafe restaurant in the building in case you don’t feel like leaving for food. Not the most perfect, nice place but… the price reflects that. We came for the beach not to sit in our room, and this is right on the beach. Understand that all of the rentals down here are a constant revolving door with little or no time to clean perfectly or make repairs between guests during the busy season no matter where you stay. Take that into consideration before expecting perfection. This place is awesome and the staff are as well. Have a problem or question and they are on top of it. Ive stayed in much more expensive places in the area, and had issues that went unresolved for our entire stay. They went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay here. We will be back for sure.

The Blockade Runner is close to non-beach activities, restaurants and bars and grocery stores, etc. I like how accessible the beach is. The onsite Bar & Grill was nice. What I didn’t like, the place is rundown, it is in need of a serious upgrade especially the bathroom!! Needs a new tub and shower head - it takes forever to get shampoo out of your hair because the shower head is so bad!!! The carpet is nasty and it is old and threadbare. There is no daily cleaning service, if you run out of toilet paper you have to go to the front desk to ask for more, same for bath towels, etc. if you’re looking for a fairly low cost beach hotel then The Blockade Runner will fill that bill but just know that the place is old and has never had any updates to the rooms!!

Poor management

Very old, run down motel. Sign said it was under new management. Place is in desperate need of repairs. You name it, it needs it. They need automatic doors. Lobby had steps leading to the elevator and no ramp inside which made it difficult to maneuver the luggage cart; you had to go outside all the way to the far side of the building to go up the ramp and all the way back down the hall to get to the elevator. Garbage and old discarded air conditioning units lying around. Small elevator with no AC in them. Our room was muggy when we first went in because some idiot put the thermostat on 60 degrees and froze the unit. Our room was dirty with dust everywhere, shower curtain had pink mildew all over the bottom of it. Someone else’s water bottle was behind the night stand so that right there tells you no one cleaned the room thoroughly. One small trash can in the whole room and it was dirty. Asked for towels, never got them. One small roll of toilet paper for two people for three days…..went out and bought some. Inconvenient and not worth the money paid. We left the room cleaner than when we found it. If I could have gotten a refund I would have left as soon as I walked in the door.

This is a Mom & Pop place, restaurant on site, open 7am-7pm. Beachfront ! Reasonable price. A little "old school" beach place but as Senior Adults that's what we like! Door is heavy tho and a bit hard to open. Would stay again!
