    Exceptional

    Sadly this is a place I wouldn't stay at again. When we arrived, I went to the front desk to check in and the lady working there reception desk had her down on the desk. Another worker had to tell her she had a customer. The people cleaning here are not cleaning. The floors are dirty thru out the hotel. Inside our room, there were stains on the carpet and on the chaise lounge chair. Another time at the reception desk, same female employee working the front desk and no one at the counter but me and her.. . . she was looking at cars for sale on her phone. She looked at 4 different ones before she acknowledged me. It was just weird. During the stay, there were 2 other guys that worked the front desk during different shifts and they were both friendly and professional like you'd expect. It is the lack of cleaning though that will keep me from ever staying at this location again.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The room i was in had several spots that were falling apart. The elevator was quite sketchy with rattling and shaking when it would stop. The food was good and convenient and the staff was very helpful overall. But it just wasn't the stay it was intended to be.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Clean, friendly and centrally located

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The front desk guy Bill I think was very very nice & helpful. Clean facility & location was not bad at all. I slept good too. They have a laundery room too!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Friendly staff. Room was as it was pictured. It was clean. The facility was easy to maneuver and find everything. Breakfast was good. Location was 8 minutes from a beach public parking lot. There were a lot of places that you could walk to from the hotel. Not a big deal breaker but if the hotel is booked, the amount of parking on the property is limited ,and had to park on the road out in front of the hotel.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room was clean comfortable bed but not so much for the pillows. Ac unit was very noisy and rattled a lot. But the breakfast was always good and staff was very friendly and helpful. Pool was clean . Overall it was good
