While the property itself is fairly aged and no amount of paint can hide that, overall it is still a very comfortable stay for us. Having direct access to the beach AND literally walk out the door to the pool was a big plus. The one of the biggest drawback is simply how loud the AC unit was, specially if you keep it running through the night to keep the humidty down. I think had they opt'd to replace all the units with mini-split when it was renovated, they would've gotten better energy efficiency in the long run and also offers guests a better experience.

Had to switch air conditioning unit out twice due to quit working room floor not so clean and you can tell it’s an older hotel that they just repainted the walls and done a few other things and call it a newly renovation you be your own judge but personally I wouldn’t stay here again due to it being older

One time and done

Employees were nice. But room was outdated. They charged us $25 early check in fee, for 2 hours early. Also charged a resort fee on top of posted Hotels.com price which was supposed to include all fees. Worst part? We were only there for one night, air was set on 69, room stayed 81 the WHOLE night. Must be hotel controlled. Lastly, we woke up with either sand mite, flea, or bed bug bites. Had to stop for benedryl on our travel home, because of the bites. Will never return. The good reviews are why we booked, but none of them were true based on our experience. Also, there is no elevator! Be prepared to carry everything up stairs!
