We made a reservation online for a 1 BDRM, oceanfront room We only received a 1 BDRM. I asked the front desk clerk about it and she assured me that we had an oceanfront room because I could see the ocean from my room. Yes, I could see "as far as the eye could see" to the south, but when I looked north, I saw the wall to my balcony. That is NOT oceanfront.
The free breakfast was good, but not delicious, and somewhat skimpy. But it served its purpose.
The decor was definitely dated. The couch (pull out bed) was extremely uncomfortable.
Ample seating in the pool/lounge area and a corn hole game was provided for general use.
The hotel had a quiet, relaxing vibe unlike its sister hotel, The Breakers, which had a party vibe complete with DJ, food stations, and waterslides. The Strand only has a 3-4-5 ft. pool and a hot tub. If you stay at The Strand, you do then have full use of the amenities at The Breakers though.
Cookware, utensils (cooking/dining), plates/bowls/cups, cutting board, strainer, stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, washer/dryer - all provided in room. Very nice that all of that was provided.
The faucet in the kitchen needed repaired and I had never seen a bathroom faucet quite like the one at The Strand. Weird!
BE WARY WHEN BOOKING! OCEANFRONT AND OCEANVIEW ARE NOT THE SAME!!
