All staffs we met were kind and professional. Plenty of parking spaces. Room, bed, and sheets were clean. Private balcony was nice. We enjoyed the swimming pool and the beach long hours daily. The only missing was no hangers for towels or swimsuits. We like the place and will return. Next time we remember to bring some hangers.

Check in time ‘started’ at 4:00 pm; was not able to check in until 5:00 pm; however, we were able to go ahead and get a parking pass and go out to beach. A/C very noisy but was able to keep room at 70, but no lower. No cups or soap in room; bath room not very clean. Beach area was great.

Unarguably the most disappointing experience of my 70 years of travel. The rooms were filthy. Dishes in the cupboard were filthy. The flatware was insufficient for 2 people....1 fork? Really? The write-up said balcony or patio for every room. We had neither. We opened our door directly onto the walk with a railing. Cabin fever! The only positive thing I can say is the girls in the office were ideal. They were caring for responsibilities they shouldn't have had to but were exceptionally professional and kind.

Rebecca

Disliked: Cleanliness
Room was not very clean upon arrival- didn’t smell clean- there was a dirty wash rag by the kitchenette sink to wash dishes- our comforter had multiple cigarette burn holes- we also received a dirty wash cloth for the shower- the overall cleanliness - not great at all. The water was shut off due to a Boil Water Notice in PCB that was scheduled- not a spur of the moment decision for the city. This was NOT communicated until almost 10:30pm- the Boil Water Notice started at 10pm. I was mid shower when the water was being shut off and my son had already brushed his teeth after 10pm before we were notified. Not ideal as guests to not have heads up.
