The rooms were very much like a motel and the shower didn't work, water leaked from all the faucets, everything felt like a motel 6 definitely not like a Hilton. Moreover the check-in took 30 minutes and the rooms were very far from the main lobby. They charge for basic amenities like internet. It was just very much like a one star hotel

The location of the property is great as it is across the beach. The pool was also good and we liked that music was playing. Our only critique was that we ate at the hotel restaurant the first night for dinner and the food was terrible. The fish was rubbery, the burgers had no flavor and the drinks were watered down. We would not stay there again but I am glad we tried it.

Crappy choice

Overpriced, unimpressed. Dirty pool, not enough ev chargers, other than Tesla. Huge resort fee, parking fee. Dowdy, broken slider. Horrendous, uncomfortable mattress. No blanket. Room was loud from the pool and could hear tvs through the wall. Not worth the money. Huge pet fee. Dowdy, dowdy lobby. Extremely unhappy 😞
