Loved the room. The Staff were friendly. The Hotel was very clean. The only negative was one of the two elevators was not working. The wait time for the elevator was long especially around check out time. The cleaning staff and guest had to use same elevator.

This is a nice hotel for the price! The outside of this property is beautiful, however the actual hotel rooms are outdated and run down (balcony, bathroom, etc.). It is also very noisy with kids, dogs, and loud bangs. I also noticed stains on the towels, pillows, and sheets. The parking is also very limited but it’s a nice walk from the beach which makes this hotel almost bearable!

While property was very convenient to everything, the lack of working things was a huge issue! Elevators were out of service! One elevator on the whole place working and every single time we tried getting on it they were full of cleaning staff with their carts! We had to pay for parking which we couldn’t even park at the hotel we had to park down the road on the side. The breakfast area is TINY for amount of people at the hotel! Don’t think we would ever go back with these issues!
