Nice property. Surprised the mediocre breakfast cost $13, disappointed a $200+ room didn’t have a free breakfast. Also refused to give us one minute late checkout unless we were “members”. The pool was excellent.

Pictures on website is not the same place. Old and dated and smells old and musky. It was fairly clean but whatever they mop the bathroom with makes the floors slippery when you have shoes on. Not worth the money spent. For the same price I’ve stayed on the beach in Daytona and it was a beautiful hotel that was new and very upscale. This place need to be remodeled ASAP.

Worst experience ever

This has been the worst hotel and booking experience in my entire life. I have basically been robbed. My money is gone, and there has been no hotel stay. An adjustment to my reservation was requested 4 days before original booking but was denied by the property. Clearly before the deadline on their policy. I work in the hospitality industry and never would have expected this treatment.
