Clean room, nice staff at check in and they were very helpful when I didn't know how to operate the tv. The beds were very comfortable with lots of pillows and even my husband liked them and he is very picky. It was quiet and near places to eat.

Staff was friendly...you can rent DVDs from the lobby and play them in your room, but I couldn't get my DVD player to work in room 208. The miniature golf was kinda fun, but it should be included in your stay,IMO,... The wall A/C / heater didn't work, but they did give us a plug-in fan....cool knick knacks in the lobby with an ocean theme...overall it was good...be aware that some of the menu prices are outdated for the menus I'm the room

Check in was easy. Room was much cleaner than most hotels I've stayed in the last year. Bed was confortable. Towels were plush. Hot water was instant and great. Location was good. Only complaint was the room was hot and it didnt seem like the heater really shuts off at all. Had to open both windows to get it to a sleepable temperature. But otherwise, a pretty great hotel for the price.
