The room was Hot! The AC hardly worked, we had it on 60° the whole time we were there and the room never got cold. The people beside us started partying at 12 midnight and lasted all night long, Very noisy. They do not provide ice machines. There is an ice machine in the lobby but you must pay $6 for a 7 lb bag. Across the street Walmart has ice for $2.03 for a 7lb bag. Parking was limited.

As far as clean beds and a place to stay it was fine. Housekeeping sucked. They didnt clean or change towels or sheets but once every 4 days. They only gave 2 rolls of toilet paper. If we needed clean towels we had to go request them from the front desk ourselves. Dont expect anything great from them. Also no ice machines, we were told we could use the ice at snack bar but then retold at snack bar we could not but could purchase ice from them if we wanted too. Would not recommend.

The staff was excellent. Anytime i needed something, with no hesitation it was done. The facilities are a bit old but worked just fine. It was clean and safe. The only complaint was the tv was old and small. We just found outside activities to keep busy.

Disappointed
I have stayed at this hotel numerous times and almost always during spring break or peak summer season. This time we stayed last minute for a basketball tournament my daughter played there. I was told I could not check in until 6pm and check out was 8am. When I called every number I could find for the hotel online, I kept getting a customer service line that continued to blow me off. It was IMPOSSIBLE to get someone AT the hotel. On top of that the room was filthy and staff seemed to be bothered by even having to speak to us. This has always been one of our favorite spots, FOR YEARS, as it’s reasonably priced and a beautiful beach front. Staff has always been friendly and the rooms have always been clean. I hate to be that person, but this will likely no longer be our go to after this weekend.
