The accommodations were good. The staff seemed nice. The breakfast downstairs in the restaurant was delicious. Only a couple of issues. 2 out of 3 of the lights in the bathroom did not work. The mirror light above the sink worked, but the light near the toilet, and the light above the shower did not work. Overall, nice hotel. andathelight above

Staff was far above average. Kerry Ann Smiley checked us in at the desk quickly, gave us suggestions where to eat, upgraded one of our 3 rooms. She was the best and I wish she would come work at my business and train our staff on hospitality. Hotel was right on the beach. Half the rooms are ocean view. For the price, great place!!

What I dislike most is the bed sheet. I have to get up several times a night to tighten and smooth the bed sheet and the mattress pad,The bed sheet and mattress pad are too small to hold the mattress.
