Was very disappointed in this hotel. Our sheets were dirty- not stained - dirty. It was 100% obvious they had not been changed. The bar area was incredibly dirty..looked as though the floor hadnt been swept or moped in a while with lots of dirt and balls of hair all around the bar area. I would not be stating at this hotel again.

A mixed bag

The good: The location on the beach was great. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. The bad: The elevators were humid, dirty, and didn’t smell great. The hot tub was out of order and the fitness center had a huge puddle in the middle of the floor, was too humid to use and smelled very, very bad. The area around the ice machine smelled of vomit. The restaurant was on a limited menu due to 2 of their 3 chefs not coming in. Also good: The food we got was perfectly fine and the pina coladas were good. Our server was also very friendly and helpful.

When I checked in the guy questioned my signature and said is that your real signature let me see your drivers license. I’ve never had that happen to me in my life. Don’t know what in the world that was all about. Then they failed to tell me that because I paid through Expedia there were hotel charges that we’re gonna be charged to the credit card that I put on file so then they charged me Didn’t tell me I had to call and find out what that was in the front deck. Staff are just room except for the one guy that works late at night.

Nice location if you book ocean front Dont stay on 3rd floor facing parking lot. You can't sit on balcony. Kitchen fans are blasting up at you. They couldn't switch us as it was high season and nothing available. They did give us a some credit for the inconvenience. Which was fair.

Location is perfect. The property itself needs to be updated. We smelled weed being smoked the entire time there which made us feel uncomfortable as a family vacation spot. Police raided the room next to us which made us feel uncomfortable as well. The location was perfect, but we will VRBO next time.
