My family and I had reserved a room, but we were having difficulty reserving it. They said earlier that they had a room, but there was a miscommunication and we had to try another one, which was exactly the same as the one we had originally reserved, but this one had ants by what you could call the "kitchen" area,...

It's been 2 months since I stayed at the Topaz and it has taken that long for me to cool down over the entire experience. This place does not know the meaning of good customer service. Just booking the room was a difficult task. Multiple times I was told there was a room only to find out there wasn't -... More

The Topaz used to be a great place to stay. It has new owners and what an uninviting difference. It is now dirty and becoming run down. No maid service for 3 days. The maids say they are working short and are too busy doing check outs to clean occupied rooms. One friend appears to have contacted bed bugs and... More

Let's start by saying this is not a 5 star hotel by any means, what is has in its favor is the ocean(across the road) and BLUE, a better than average restaurant. Price wise there is a Hilton Garden inn about 5 miles away for the same price, so basically your getting the closer beach convenience...and thats all. We stayed... More

It's not the fanciest place, but it's everything we want & need. They are super pet friendly, with no weight limit, so you can bring a 4lb Chi or a 100 lb Doberman. The pet fee is very reasonable also. You can get an efficency, regular room or an antique setting. The pool is right there, the ocean across the... More

So I went on holiday with my long time boyfriend and his family offered to put us in a hotel for the night. I just went along with everything. so They drive us down the beach until we reach the Topaz hotel. It is very cute, turn of the century hotel/motel. You could tell that back in the day this... More

Pros: Location, location, location. Can't get closer to the ocean. The pool was clean. Towels were a decent size. We've stayed in the past and it was a quaint but clean place, rather nice! Not anymore. Cons: Fitted sheets pop right off grungy (but comfortable) mattresses no matter what you do. Turn over, lay flat - doesn't matter, you end... More

Friendly staff. Good location, However, rooms are old, "white" towels are dingy. Parking is cramped and limited. Exposed fitted sheet revealed a mattress that looked as if it had been drug through the mud. No enforced "quiet" hours as guests hung out at the pool with their car radios blaring at midnight.

This is a tough one to review. Under normal circumstances this is the type of hotel that most people would not stay at. It is old and shabby and ugly. What it has is that it is right on a great beach and it is the best bargain that you will ever find on the water anywhere. I also liked... More
