Checked us in the wrong room, we entered with the key they gave us and it was an occupied room! All I got from the front desk was sorry for the inconvenience. That’s dangerous not an inconvenience. That is unacceptable.

Room wasn't really clean. Had no garbage can. We stayed 3 nights and the room wasn't cleaned. We had to take dirty towels to front desk and get clean ones every day. Do not recommend.

The staff was extremely nice, and the room was a lot nicer than I expected. We were only there to sleep on our trip to the beach. My only complaint, the beds were incredibly uncomfortable.

It was okay. They tried to give us a room that smelt like cigarette smoke as soon as you walked in door that suppose to been non smoking. Bed however was comfortable but didn’t seem like they changed the bedding, we had stains on blanket. When asking for new bed linen the lady who got on shift had a bad attitude about it. Our room smelt like straight up cologne like they just sprayed it to cover up a certain smell. Silver ware was not clean and had food left on them that hardened. Fridge didn’t work but freezer did. It was okay but definitely not worth $140+ for one night.

We were unable to get the room we reserved. We reserved a king room and ended up with 2 double beds. Had i known a king room was not available, we would have chosen a different locating.
