This hotel was great. We stayed for 4 nights enjoying the area. The pool and hot tub were fun. The room was large and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Amazing area. So close to the beach, walked down with kids every day. Location felt safe. Would definitely stay again.

Staff are very friendly. Room was very clean. Room service refreshed towels & made bed for the 2 nights we stayed. Very close to beach, about 5 min walk. Elevators on site made it very helpful. Breakfast was good & always hot. Coffee was great! Didn't get to try the pool but from what I seen, it looks like they clean it daily. Overall great stay, for a great price!

When we try to use the sofa bed. The sofa is dirty, it didn’t look like the sheet has been changed. There were food crumbs.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff were great. But idiotic design of building and walls and windows are as thin as paper. Loud and noisy all hours of the evening and staff and people awake from 6am and making tons of noise. Spent an entire week and didn’t get a decent nights sleep. And the hot tub looked as nasty as a swamp.

My 2 teen kids and myself enjoyed our stay, very close to shops/food and of course 5 min walk to the beach. Breakfast was fresh and lots of choices eggs/biscuit & gravy, bacon/ fruits. Etc. Our room was clean & comfortable bed. We already said, we'll be returning again. More than 5 🌟 stars.TU.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The AC unit was terribly loud, couldn't sleep at all. Low water pressure, took a long time to shower. No creamer for the coffee...until we were leaving and another upset guest found the creamer carafes in the mini fridge on the other side of the dining area, nowhere near the coffee. It's like no one there cares about the customers experience. Won't go back.

Great stay for the price!

Perfect place for a quick trip with my family of 4. Was upgraded to a bigger room on check in. The pool was nice with plenty of seating. The room was great. The breakfast was plentiful. And the parking is free!
