Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. It’s in a very convenient area. Close to food/restaurants, and stores all within walking distance. The beaches and Sea World about 5-7 mins driving. The airport is about 11 mins driving with no traffic. Staff are very friendly. Hotel is a little hidden from main street view and parking area can be difficult to park your car due to pillars/posts in the way. Breakfast was good every morning. Go around 7:00am to get good seating as it has limited seating. If you find breakfast area seating full just take your food to your room. I give it a 9 out of 10 rating.

The location was convenient and close to many things. The area around the property was okay. The staff and house keeping were nice and attentive. The property was clean. Morning breakfast was great for our 4 teenage boys. Our boys enjoyed the gym and hot tub. 😊

Staff was very friendly and the property was very clean. My only complaints are that it’s tricky to find, it’s not the best neighborhood and there is a dog daycare next door (poolside room) that was loud with dogs barking. If that would bother you, ask for a room far away from the pool.

The front desk is rude. We were at a sleepover. I paid for the room online. My husband and small kids checked in and they wanted payment again so it held funds we needed for our trip because even though they charged me the insisted on charging us again on a new card. I even talked on the phone and offered a photo ID and card picture. Little kids wait for me to have to come and take care of it. Ridiculous.
