It is close to wave runners and banana boats to rent. It was cold when we were there and my husband keeps the air so cold. Next time I would bring my own pillow and a heavy blanket. Our room had two beds, kitchen area (stove, refrigerator/freezer, microwave) small TV, dining room, big closet and dressing area with mirror. It was breath taking seeing the view of the ocean through the palm trees. No elevator in this part of the building. It is on the top (third) floor so we had to walk 3 flights of stairs every time. We stayed in the smaller building with the garden. The Flamingo came up and they had an opening and I snatched it. We cancelled our reservation and I started searching on google maps any hotel on the beach that had an opening. Priceline blamed covid which was not the case. I refused to stay at it because of the poor reviews. I actually had another hotel booked but priceline, a week before our trip, emailed to say they were putting us at a different hotel. It did get a little annoying but all of the motels will have that issue. If you like helicopters flying by every 5 minutes during the daylight you are going to love it. There are no stop lights or cross walks nearby so you have to take your chances. The parking is limited in front of the motel but there is a lot across the very busy street if you don't mind playing ' dodge cars'. The motel is located on the only beach road with all of the attractions, hotels and restaurants so the noise levels are really high until about 2 am. The smoking was a big enough deal to us that we checked out a couple of days early and there was no offer to refund those two days when I brought it to the managements attention. The pool and hot tub are well used and not very inviting. The air conditioning unit also would suck in the smoke. ( side of refrigerator rusted, bathroom door delaminated from moisture, tub chipped in several places, etc) The really disappointing and disgusting thing for us was even though we thought it was suppose to be a non smoking motel, most guests smoked on their decks so we had to keep our door to the deck closed so as not to fill the room with smoke stench. The rooms are very clean but need some remodel and repairs. The location is outstanding and only a short walk to Pier Park with many restaurants and things to do.
