Checked in at the hotel for the day, moved luggage in room on the third floor. Came back after dinner and the whole place is dark. The front desk with their flashlight informed us they were not informed they will have a blackout. Ask for refund and girl said she has to inform owner. My husband took 3 flights of stairs 2x to get luggage down since I cannot do stairs. Front desk girl helped us call the neighbor hotel who had lights for transfer

Great option with or without kids. Right across the street from the beach. They even lent us a beach umbrella! We did experience that the amount of chlorine put in the pool and hot tub was a little too much for our skin, but others may not have that issue. I would just be mindful if you have kids with sensitive skin.

Room for handicap was unexpected

The room for handicap was not as comfortable. We are not handicap. The beds are much lower which made it difficult to get in and out of and the shower felt odd. We tried not to let water get all over the floor since its an open floor for wheelchair access. For a handicap person the setup would work. It didn't work for us.

Moderately upgraded comfort, excellent location

Location and and grounds were in excellent shape. Breakfast was a better than usual but only continental breakfast. I would have preferred a bette rate and gone down the street to eat. Rooms are upgraded versions of older motel. The upgrade were very nice and place was very clean. Rooms were a lot smaller than expected from the pics. Prices were a bit high IMHO and likely coose another place next time to save on $. If you are a traveler who spends a lot of time on the grounds with pool and chairs it is ideal. If you are like me, it is a place to sleep, it is not the best choice. Pillows were too high and while they offered 4, they cold have had varied sizes. Beds comfort was moderate. Individual HVACs per room were loud even when it was only a neighboring room. This needs serious upgrades with split system modern quiet units.

Staff was friendly and always helpful. The rooms were cozy and clean as was the swimming pool. The continental breakfast options were great and we loved the wine, cheese, and crackers they had in the evening. We will definitely be staying there again.
