Our stay was fair overall. The room did not appear to be deep-cleaned, and the shampoo and soap containers should be replaced or properly cleaned. The floor was slippery, likely due to a cleaning product used. Behind the hotel there is a sandy lot where boats are parked, and although the beach is across the street, the description makes it sound like the hotel is beachfront, which it is not. Safety was also a concern. We did not feel very safe at night due to excessive noise, loud trucks playing music, and increased foot traffic in the area. Additionally, parking costs an extra $10 per day plus taxes, which is important to note.

The staff were amazing and super nice throughout our stay. Breakfast was good it was your standard hotel breakfast. Rooms were not good from the dirty floor to the peeling ceiling and mold. It worked for this trip but I wouldn’t stay there again.

This place gets an 8.8 on Expedia. I don't understand how it gets this type of rating. It wasn't bad but doesn't deserve this type of rating. This is equal to a BW. 7 is realistic.
