Big mistake booking this, had concerns when we pulled up, when we got to our damp smelling, sparse and unloved room they were confirmed. Complained and told no rooms have refurbed, they had no similar option but we could pay more to stay in an equally smelly and unloved room. Checked out, demanded a refund, given all sorts of reasons why not, 5 stars for Hotels.Com who dealt with the issue and got us a 100% refund. Also right next to highway, road noise everywhere, they need to finish the refurb, avoid

Staff was amazing. Beach and pool were amazing. Facility has been redecorated but the building/ facility itself is old. Our room was on the parking lot side on the ground level so not so great from that aspect. The pool/ocean side was very nice. Overall an okay place to stay but facility is pretty outdated.
