From the reviews
Older hotel, in prime location. Checking in, staff was courteous and helpful. Room was clean and spacious for the price. We stayed x4 nights. Complimentary bottles of water in the room would have been a nice feature. There was absolutely no place to hang our clothes, except above the toilet, on the towel rack.

Really amazing hotel. Originally planned to stay 2 nights but had to add another one because of how much I liked it. The rooms are spacious and clean. The location is phenomenal. It's right next to the beach.
Had a great time. Last minute booking. Clean room. Beach access. Friendly staff. Everything we needed/wanted for a last minute getaway
Getting married at Pilgrim Sands on Long Beach
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
