Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The place is pretty gross. There was a bloody booger on the inside of the shower curtain, the towels had stains on them, toothpaste on the walls (at least I hope it was toothpaste), and the door was badly broken like someone got angry in a fight or something. The mattress on one bed felt just like the springs while the other mattress was comfortable but the sheets were put on inside out. I guess you get what you pay for but I felt very gross being in that room. The girl up front was not very friendly either but that was the least of my worries.

Staff were friendly. Breakfast area was adequately clean. Did not appreciate that the hotel was pretty empty and they decided to put someone upstairs above us with a kid that was up runnning and stomping until 1am. Otherwise ok.

This was definitely the worst property I’ve stayed at. Which is only a bigger concern because it was rated 4.2/5 and listed a a 3 star resort. There was zero resemblance what so ever to the photos. Every single aspect of the room was starkly different. This trip alone has completely changed my trust in Travelocity. Every towel, and I mean all of them, were covered in hair and bugs and brown stuff. I took videos of this. There was also some random people roaming the lot at 3am. I was woken up at 8:30am by knocking at the door, I tried ignoring it since I was in bed having not got back to the hotel till around 3am. The knocking got harder and more aggressive so I thought maybe it was the police letting me know my car was broken into or something. I answered the door in my underwear and it was just housekeeping. However I was happy to ask for new towels since I couldn’t use any of the ones I had. Unfortunately since the room itself was so different incredibly from the listing and the experience was so far from the reviews. I’m not sure I trust using Travelocity anymore.

We stayed here for quick trip to the beach. The location of hotel was great. The hotel itself was ok but not sure I would stay here again. Didn't have major issues with the hotel besides our door knob being semi broken. The guests that stayed same night with us were so bad. They like to stand outside and you can hear everything. It was so noisy so we didn't sleep good at all. Can hear everything above you. I also wish the employees would wear some type of uniform or even a Tshirt with hotel name. Also if you want ice, one ice machine is broken and the other, well you have to beat the people who are filling chests for fishing. Breakfast was ok.
