I booked this hotel after reading very mixed reviews. When I arrived the front desk staff were pleasant and helpful. When I got to my room, I was very happy. It was huge and very comfortable. I had a gulf view room. It had a king size bed, kitchenette, table and chairs for eating, a love seat, bathroom with separate... More

Location is really good. Its very close to the beach and pier. Our room was large, had pool/ocean view and a kitchenette with a microwave, fridge, coffeemaker and toaster. There is a free breakfast that isn't really worth mentioning. Just toast, oatmeal and prepacked sweets. The place is a little old, but its all working and clean. The newest thing... More

So room 205 was a mess. toilet lid was dirty, ants on the walls, bed side lights didn't work, carpet was disgusting, sink in 'kitchen' shot water all over, patches on the walls, alarm clock didn't work, and dusty. After we checked in I tried to change rooms about 2 hours later and I was told there wasn't anything else... More

This may be an older hotel but owners/workers doing a good job keeping it up. I walked into the hotel not knowing what we might find (booked online) and was pleasantly surprised. It has an original Florida feel to it - lovely smaller hotel, beautiful (spotless) pool and wonderful front desk staff - thank you Dave and Raymond for making... More

Our stay at the Magnuson Hotel was so enjoyable, that on the last day of our vacation we were almost sorry to leave. What made it most enjoyable was the friendliness of the front desk personnel, namely Dave & Raymond! They were very helpful with anything we needed, including amenities, directions, advice on restaurants, etc.......even went as far as helping... More

Location, location & location. Five star location. One star everything else. What maintenance has been done since the mid-1970's has been done poorly. Spackling about the place, including in the tub of all places. Plumbing maintained horribly - I fixed the toilet to save my sanity. The faucets were difficult to turn. Uncomfortable beds, poor maid service. Aside from its... More

My wife was met with smiles and attention as we needed it. We had travelled for about 5 hours in all kinds of directions and needed a break. Laura at the front desk was immediately accommodating and helpful with our questions and concerns. Being the Easter weekend in the states, everything was hectic. We were granted an ocean view with...

Our room was small- the bathroom was so small you had to carefully maneuver just to close the door. Very few tv channels and in room wi fi was basically nonexistent.... More

We enjoyed our stay.. Directly on the beach with a gorgeous view of the gulf! The room was perfect for our family of four ... We enjoyed the covered balcony and the kitchenette. We could walk directly on the beach or to a number of great restaurants not to mention the hot dog stand and ice cream stand right there...... More
