I've been staying at the Windswept for over a decade. I usually stay the weekend after Labor Day. Kids are back at school and the weather is still beautiful. I am loyal to a fault but I've always enjoyed my stay. The location is great for me. Right on the beach, private beach entrance for guests, complimentary coffee, tea, and beach passes, and walkable to the Tiki Bar, cheap eats, and Kids' rides (for those with little ones). The rubber mat on the ramp leading to the sand was a big hit for me this year! I also think the rates are fair. This is not a luxury hotel. However, it's clean with an ideal location.

I've read some other reviews and can understand some of the complaints. Some guests do tend to "take over" the pool and lounge area. Especially guests that have rooms in those areas. Some guests are loud into and through the night as well. However, I don't think this is a reflection of the Windswept staff. What are they supposed to do other than ask folks to be considerate? Personally, I've never been disturbed by other guests. As far as folks trying to "take over" certain areas....I enjoy what I want when I want as a paying guest. The only thing I have noticed is that the bedding (mattress, pillows, etc.) has been less than what I expect. Perhaps it's time for new mattresses. Overall, the staff, from the front desk, to housekeeping, couldn't be friendlier or more pleasant. I will continue to return, God Willing, unless I opt for a change after all of these years.

One star only because it was clean. People were partying and loud - up all hours of the night screaming and fighting directly next to us. There's no smoking on the balconies yet our rooms REEKED of smoke because those people smoked on the balconies and it came right through the windows that were closed but the cheap slatted glass let it all in. We got two rooms on NY Ave upper floor towards the office. We called the office around 11 the first night and security picked up and told them to stop. They continued until about 3am. The next day we spoke with the front desk and they assured us that they were going to talk to them and it wouldn’t happen again. Around 11 o’clock the next night they started battling and screaming and smoking and talking about how they were high and falling all over the place and banging into the walls and on the balcony we tried calling the front desk for two hours but no one ever picked up. They finally must’ve passed out around 3 AM and the next morning we asked the front desk why there was no one picking up in the middle of the night and they said that there is no security on Tuesday nights. Mind you we paid an obscene amount for this hotel because the reviews said that it was family oriented and quiet and they did not tolerate partiers and yeah they did nothing about these rude inconsiderate guests. I would not recommend at all to anyone. Probably better staying off across the street at White Sands no partying whatsoever was going on over there I know they are shortstaffed but I would rather wait then not be able to sleep at night.
