Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
One of the worst hotel stays in recent memory. From the misleading ad that stated two pools with an indoor and outdoor pool (there is only one outdoor pool) to pictures of the pool that are taken at a very deceptive angle to present it as a large pool - it’s only about 20 feet long the experience was a disaster. If we were staying longer we would move. The one pool was unusable the entire time due to foul filthy water that would likely get it shut down by a health inspector. The jacuzzi was also deceptively advertised. The actual size was for maybe 3 people. The parking spaces were sized for golf carts. If you do not have to stay at this hotel… Don’t.

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. It’s in a very convenient area. Close to food/restaurants, and stores all within walking distance. The beaches and Sea World about 5-7 mins driving. The airport is about 11 mins driving with no traffic. Staff are very friendly. Hotel is a little hidden from main street view and parking area can be difficult to park your car due to pillars/posts in the way. Breakfast was good every morning. Go around 7:00am to get good seating as it has limited seating. If you find breakfast area seating full just take your food to your room. I give it a 9 out of 10 rating.

Staff was very friendly and the property was very clean. My only complaints are that it’s tricky to find, it’s not the best neighborhood and there is a dog daycare next door (poolside room) that was loud with dogs barking. If that would bother you, ask for a room far away from the pool.
