Super friendly people that work here. Convenient location and with Cracker Barrel right in front, that was awesome. Breakfast is top notch. Nothing cheap, lots of options and hot. Everything tasted great. Room 202, needs the toilet behind it cleaned badly.

It was a disappointment all around

We book d this because of the large tub, it was falling apart. The spout was practically falling out, no good way to close the bottom to keep water in and it would have taken 5 hours to fill because they have added a water flow restrictor. The pool was another plus when choosing and it was closed when we arrived for maintenance. That was frustrating. The only plus was Julie at the front desk was super nice and helpful. She was great.

I can't complain about the location, it was close to the beaches and restaurants. But the water from the faucet smells very strange. And we have to use the stairs, the elevator wasn't working well. Not other concerns the price was reasonable.
