The best part about this hotel is the location and that’s about it. Way over priced for what it is

Expect more!
The best thing is that it’s close to the beach but our room was ready close to six pm instead of 4 pm as there was only one housekeeper working on a Monday holiday weekend which is weird! TV didn’t work for channels or on demand and it’s an old tv model which doesn’t give you access to your Netflix account, other thing is the noise from the upstairs room you can pretty much hear any steps from guests upstairs, I usually don’t complain but for the amount I paid I was expecting more I guess!

Hotel Staff SUCKS!
First they do not answer thier phone! Could not confirm reservation or unit as requested. Then poor attitude from staff in giving customers any time at counter. Room was below sidewalk so every foot step was heard. There was a metal gate attached to the room wall that clanged LOUDLY with every public and resident who walked through ALL NIGHT LONG.

Loud neighbors. After hours staff was quick to address it after complaining. Walls are thin so noise is unavoidable. Bugs flying around in bathroom. Outdated appliances and rundown furniture.

Anniversary weekend
This is not a hotel, it’s more like a motel 6. Definitely not worth $300+ per night. Arrived and checked in Friday. Went to our room 136, which had not been cleaned yet. We had to return to the office and wait for them to call about 30 minutes later. The way the bed is set up in room 136, my husband to climb over me to get out of the bed. Just a weird set up and cob webs in the ceiling, the toilet rocked when you sat on it. Just gross honestly. Expedited more for the price. Location is great that’s about it.

We were on the beach. This is for the low maintenance traveling family. We had a great time and will be back.Bring earplugs because the walls are thin.

The property was nice and clean. The beach is conveniently near by and shopping and restaurants where also near by. The only thing we had to bring our own cookwar, dishes and utensils. Other than that we really enjoyed it.

It's a low maintenance vacation. Not a 5 star experience, it's all about location. Bring ear plugs to sleep. And expect to have sand everywhere. Enjoy the beach life
