The hotel initial looked older but we were pleasantly surprised at the updated rooms, comfortable beds, access out your door to the beach, and a great sunning and kids area. It has the outer feel of the older hotels but the comfort of new rooms. We would stay here again. Great staff.

The door to our room was open when we got there mind you it’s 9:30 PM, the sheets were disgusting, and had stains and hair all over them. Housekeeping obviously never actually cleaned the roof. No extra locks to keep someone out if they wanted to break in. No hair dryer. Staff did not care about the door being open when we got there. They charged my card the day prior to check in, even though it was a pay at property reservation. Everywhere was sold out otherwise we would have left and stayed somewhere else.
