Room was really small to accommodate a king..had to move around things to accommodate our suitcases. Oh well..not the biggest deal but inconvenient. Room was clean. Shower head was absolutely terrible lol. The biggest problem was the walls are paper thin! I could hear everything on each side of us with people talking in a normal tone. Waking us up several times in the middle of the night both nights. Staff was so sweet and helpful upon check in.

This budget property was great! Easy check in and check out via website then text. Very clean rooms. Property was well maintained. Pool was awesome to play around with the kiddo in but bring towels from the room or your own. Vending machine for drinks is right with it. There is a Dennys and a gas station (convenience store) in front of the hotel. Office staff were always responsive and helpful via chat, making it extremely easy. Room has a shower/tub. Large closet and lots of drawer space. Microwave, mini fridge and mini freezer in room which is really helpful! Comfortable beds. Air and heat worked well. Just a short 7-10 minute drive to the aquarium. I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you!
