Beach time right across the street. If you cannot go up and down stairs then you should drive your car down some distance for better access. I was a little dismayed that breakfast was quite expensive and the coffee was Starbucks but at Starbucks cost. I absolutely loved the pool and the little Cabana bar. There were lots of kids in the pool and lots of laughter and fun.

Check in delayed 30 minutes room not clean, staff did nothing to get our room cleaned. Ice machines on floors 3& 3 broken. Channels on cable not offered such as Netflix it there to select but not available per front desk. I guess the channels were removed to save money. I used to be a Marriot frequent member before I retired, this was the worst hotel in all of my travels across America.

We got there and the room was not ready, when we finally got to the room I check the bed and the sheets were dirty with some kind of fluid big spots( I have pictures) I have to ask for my room to be clean and the towels to be change every day because they didn’t do it. The pool was dirty . I did not like it at all, I felt so bad the 4 days I was there.
