This is an amazing hotel they just need to upgrade and improve the Bar services there is not to many options to pick .
Right on the beach! Very convenient location, plenty of parking, fantastic view, loved our stay! Bummer that double red flags were out due to weather but not the property’s fault at all.. Still had a wonderful time!
The only thing I go confused about was a random 69 dollar resort fee after already paying through Expedia and seeing that I already paid the resort fee.
It was fine not the best or newest things in the hotel room we had to be on the first floor , could have been a little cleaner the sheets had stains on them
We loved the heated pool and hot tub and easy access to the beach. We loved sitting on our balcony every morning to drink coffee and watch the ocean and to see the sunsets at night. Bed mattress could have been better, and would have liked some kind of fan in the bathroom. It was wonderful having a full kitchen. We had everything we needed in the kitchen except a cookie sheet. Overall a wonderful place to stay on the beach and would definitely like to return.
Jimmy at the front desk at night was very accommodating and helpful. Otherwise, I had to ask for a different room because the first room’s bedding was disgusting. The second room was better, but door had been broken and he had to sweep up wood from in front of it. So, the staff was helpful, but the hotel itself seemed not so great.
