Very disappointed, nothing like the pictures online. Waited over 2 1/2 hours to check in. Plug ins did not work, poor lighting, outdated, roaches, air conditioning was not working due to non maintenance. My husband cleaned them. Staff was not concerned, stated it was Expedia’s problem. They did not help at all. Only had access to 2 pools and 1 was closed 2 days. It was overcrowded. No balcony like the pictures. Beds were not Queen , more like a full size. There was no complementary breakfast either.

Plugs wouldn’t stay in the wall. FIRE HAZARD / ELECTRICAL HAZARD

The filters my husband had to clean. Maintenance showed up 2 days into our stay.

2 lines at check in. The longer line was to check in and get temp parking pass, the second line was for actual check in .. if you were called or texted when your room was ready. Website doesn’t reflect check in time being 6pm.

The actual stay was fine. However, we arrived at 2 to see about early check-in and was told no check in til 6. I explained my confirmation said 4 was check in time. Was told that during busy summer season, it's 6. Ok, whatever. They did give us a temp parking pass so we were able to park and spend the day on the beach. When we came back at 6, the lobby was so full of people we couldn't get through because they didn't start checking anyone in til 6pm. It was after 9pm before we finally had a room.

The only problem we had was checkin, they only let you checkin at 6 pm in june and july, crazy, busiest time of the year having everyone checkin at the same just causes long lines of frustration and causing tempers to flare, it would work out much better in my opinion to check people in on arrival if their room is ready .

Hotel stay

This hotel came highly recommended. I will never go to this hotel again. I did an early check in around 1pm. The clerks at the desk said "they would give me a call as soon as our room was ready, as soon as they called, we would be able to come to the front of desk and get our keys. We could use the pool, beach or whatever while waiting." No access to changing rooms, showers, etc. So we had to go find things to do while waiting. We had reservations at 8:30 pm across town. Still no phone call, so we decided to go back to hotel and see what was going on. We got back to hotel around 5-ish and there were 2 long, long lines of people waiting to get rooms. We waited in line over 1 and 45 minutes just to get our keys. Oh and for our troubles, checkout time was extended to11 am. We barely had time to get our things in our rooms and leave to make our 8:30 appointment. We didnt even get to check out restaurants, bars, pools, etc. Not a happy customer. No worries, next time we will go back to our favorite hotel which is Sandpiper Beach Resorts. And have a much smoother check in.

Check in process terrible…

Booked our room at 1pm, the website stated check in would be 4 pm and encouraged pre check in. When arrived for pre check in staff stated the check in time would be 6pm. We were able to go to the beach until then, when we arrived back at 6 pm for our room the lobby was full of more than 100 people to check in and get keys. We waited in line for an hour and was not even half way through the line. We decided to leave and eat dinner and returned at 8:45pm and there was still a long line to get keys. My reservation was non refundable and we were only able to have our room from 9pm to 4 am due to an early fishing reservation. Poor planning on the management and of course no one was available to resolve any issues.

So So

This hotel is in a good location and the price was decent. The worst part about this hotel is the check-in process. We got here the day of at 12 o’clock and pre-registered. We had to wait in an extremely long line for about an hour in our room was not ready until after 8 o’clock.. i’ve never had a worse experience, checking into a hotel. For the check-in nightmare alone, I will never stay at this hotel again.
