Good and safe hotel for walking distance for beach area. A little expensive but not too bad. I wish they cleaned the rooms everyday. They don’t clean the rooms or make the beds usually except for new guests. Although, they do give news towels if you ask. They also provide water and beach towels which helps a lot, especially in the hot weather.

No sleep allowed!

spring break is not the time you want to book this hotel. Kids are partying till 5am and you can hear every little noise throughout the whole place. Rooms were clean and comfortable but noise level was obnoxious. I had read the reviews before hand and I thought the noise complaints were just Karens. If you want to get any sleep this is not the place March 1-4 2025. Maybe better before and after spring break but walls and floors are thin.

Called the property’s phone number several times on several different days and never got an answer. It always said the voicemail was full. Messaged the property on their two different emails AND through Expedia and still never received a response leading up to our stay. Room smelled of mildew/mold and was extremely humid and damp inside. Only nice thing about our stay was proximity to the beach. We had a one night stay and that was more than enough. I would never book again.
