My husband and I spent two nights there over Easter weekend. The location was perfect because our kids were camping at Kiptopeke State Park. The room was clean and it was nice to have a continental breakfast in the morning. The bathroom, although clean, was old and the drain in the tub was rusty. If we stayed there again we... More

My husband and I spent 12/30-1/1 at the Sunset Beach Resort. This was our second time at the hotel. We were expecting a quiet time since our last visit was in the warmer months and we thought fewer people would be there. We did not know there was a special for fishermen and there were many noisey men that had... More

My husband and I had had a very difficult week and pulled into the Sunset beach resort late at night on our long trip home.

This hotel was one of most dirties hotels that I have stayed in and I travel quite a bit. Very expensive and it was not worth the price. The bathroom drain did not work properly.

We find your review very curious and think you have confused our hotel with another? Our housekeeping staff has been thoroughly trained and are monitored very closely. We have made many improvements and do not permit improper bathroom facilities. More

We had a whole bunch of guests into town, so we let several stay in our house and we just took a room at the Sunset Beach Hotel, which is a good hour away, but closer to where our event would be. It has come a long way since I was a kid. Would I call it a five-star getaway?... More
