Disappointed after all these years staying there.
I have stayed here for years, since I was a child. I'm 51 now. I have always loved staying here with my family & this time it was a little different. Even though we were The biggest thing was that we has 3 adults staying in the room & it has 2 queen beds & a pull out bed. The problem was. It was myself & my husband & My mother staying. She is 79 years old & like I normally do I slept with my husband, but could not get out of the bed, because the 2 queen beds are pushed up against the wall. WHY?? Everything else was nice, but if you can't get out of the bed, then is it really worth it. I ended up sleeping on the couch & not with my husband for our 1st vacation away in 4 years. Disappointed is a understatement. Feel like I should get some of my money back . :(

Honestly its a great deal for the area. Right by the beach. Within driving distance of all major areas on the coast. Clean rooms. Only issue we had was the outlets weren't working and the shower took forever to warm up. But I imagine the room hasn't been used for a bit so it took a bit of time for it to get back to action. Would stay again based on price point and location.
