Friendship Oceanfront Suites

The beach was not crowded. About a mile from the crowds of the pier but walkable to the restaurants, rides and shops. There was a grassy area with a pool where the patios and balconies faced. There were a lot of families and it was a perfect place for the kids to play. We are a retired couple but enjoyed watching the kids play and having a private spot on the beach. The suite was small and could use some updating but it was very clean and had everything we needed. The only negative for me was that the pool got crowded with kids and there wasn’t any space for an adult to hang out in the pool without getting jumped on. But the beach more than made up for that, and I did get a chance to get in the pool when the kids left for the beach. We both really enjoyed our 3 night getaway at the Friendship Oceanfront Suites!

This place is great. I've stayed at other motels in OOB but this one has been the best so far and will book again. The rooms divide into two, which feels more spacious and love how all the rooms open up to the courtyard which is grassy and great for small kids. The pool is a huge plus being heated and saltwater vs chlorine. Hoses outside the pool area provide quick clean-ups from sand. The beach is beautiful and in front of the hotel. Our room had a kurig machine which you get pods at the front desk and came with dishsoap, 2 mugs, microwave, small fridge, and ice bucket. Excellent space for small kids. Air conditioner worked great but we hardly used it. Room has a ceiling fan in the living room area. Bathroom while tiny was clean and recently remodled. A few cons- there was way too much furniture in the room with 2 dining chairs and 2 sitting chairs, coffee table, 2 lamp tables. It was a bit cluttered. 2nd con was the staff- they seemed so disinterested. When i checked in i felt they couldn't care less just gave me the key and zero info. When i inquired about staying another day they informed me that the room was already booked but didn't even suggest another room which were available and i considered booking online, they just didn't care. So odd. Perhaps they are just so over customer service during peak season. I understand but if i were the owner i would certainly be striving for better customer service.

Nice, beautiful, well-maintained property that has its our pool and is just right by the beach. Staff is very helpful and accommodating. Would come back again!
