The beach was beautiful and the staff was very nice at the front desk. The hotel is rundown, outdated and dirty. There was black mold in the bathroom and the boxspring on the bed were exposed and dirty. It was ok for a quick overnight stay.

We had a wonderful layed back stay. Loved the free coffee in the lobby and free drinkable water. Loved the complimentary pool towels. Loved the fact that the pools were open 24/7. The beach was wonderful. We walked to the Pier Park every day for dining and entertainment. Grocery store was just across the street, and a few restaurants. There was also a bus stop directly at hotel entrance (we didnt rent a car but could get anywhere using the bus). The hotel is onky 25 minutes from the airport. We also enjoyed the bonfires on the beach. Highly recommend ocean front rooms.

Upon entering our room we noticed it to be very aged and worn. There were absolutely no USB ports to be found. The bathroom was clean and stocked with towels, but there was no shower curtain. The units furnishing were worn and torn. There was no fan in the bathroom. The A/C unit was extremely noisy. The exterior of the building was run down and in need of a powerwashing. There was absolutely no service done on the room the entire 4 night stay, we had to continually go ask for towels. A few of the positive things. The pool was clean, clear, and warm. The hot tub was as well, although the nearby heater was putting off a strong exhaust smell. The beach access was perfect. And the view was beautiful. I definitely would not stay here again, as there are much nicer facilities for similar costs.
