We arrived a couple of hours earlier. The male staff member, Mike, helped us with an early check-in. After I requested to change to a non-roadside room for quietness, he immediately accommodated my request. My stay was enjoyable.

We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed our stay. The towels were changed every day and the trash taken away, but the beds weren’t made up or any cleaning done as far as I could see. You have to pay for parking which we didn’t know about.

Hotel only has pillows with feathers so had to bring my own pillows due to allergies to feathers. The room and bed smelled like an animal has went to the bathroom on right at the head of the bed. Requested for a quiet room but ended up on the noisy side of the building right by a main highway.

Terrific, Comfortable Stay!

The bed was truly comfortable! The television provided news, movies, and a variety of shows. We used the laundry facilities; they were outstanding. Breakfast was delicious and the service was helpful.

Anniversary Beach Getaway

vacation gone bad

Planned this trip of a lifetime to do some deep sea fishing and enjoy the beech, had this hotel booked for months and when we arrived into town after hours of driving 2 hours early we called to see if we could check in early and they said to check with them at 2 we called back and they said check in was 3 so we ate killed some time and went in at 3 , room still not ready and they hoped it would be ready in 30 minutes it was not ready until 3:45 . Seemed to be a big event at this hotel and we were not part of it so we took a back seat that's fine. room was very dated , jacuzzi tub leaked. We checked out the next day due to family emergency and we got charged for having to leave early even though I am pretty sure they had no problem renting the room ,the parking at this hotel is a nightmare . Very pretty on the outside but we will not stay here again way to much money for what you get.
