Pricing was more than reasonable for a beachfront room with balcony, great views and beach access. Did give complimentary coffee, but coffee in room was horrible. Staff was great. Outdoor pools were excellent, indoor pools and hot tubs need a desperate update. Some of the furniture needed updating as well, beds were comfortable but lumpy.

Room 219 needs major upgrades. Beds are uncomfortable, door doesn't seal at all, ac doesn't cool low enough, remote for tv doesn't work unless it's 1 ft from the tv. We've stayed before in different rooms and they were top notch for a budget hotel. This one needs some major improvements

Employees were great. Clean. I would have liked a guest laundry. Also, still waiting on VRBO to fulfill their agreement. The $1231.38 amount they are to give us has not come through yet so my trip was much more expensive then I anticipated. Hopefully this will come thru soon.

Not bad. Bathrooms are tiny and cramped. Beds were comfy. Doors didn’t work well. And the pancake restaurant in the hotel was trash. Folks charged an additional 5$ for each item ordered because their “prices just went up”
