The Friendship is a very old hotel with Beach charm. The rooms are in bad need of renovation. It is right on the beach and has a great pool with plenty of seating. The location and staff are wonderful. I was uncomfortable in the room and refused to walk on the indoor/outdoor carpet in bare feet. The mattress was completely covered in plastic, then another protector on top of the plastic, it was lumpy and uncomfortable. Eventhough the room appeared to be clean, it is so old, I wasn't sure it was. A large person would not be able to take a shower, it is very small and there is no sink in the bathroom. The room is overpriced for what is offered. This is an old area of town, perhaps all the hotels in this area are in the same state. Eventhough I had a wonderful time in OOB with my husband, I would not recommend or stay at The Friendship again. Sorry
