Adam

Disliked: Cleanliness
Check in was listed at 4pm but our room was not ready untill 6:15pm. With the extra time we thought our room would be clean. There was sand all over the floor ( given this is the beach so ill relax on that point a bit ) and the shower was nasty and scum over the handle. The vent was also very dusty.

The property is not well maintained - very dirty. The rooms are tiny. The shower in the room is snug with a shower curtain blowing into you while you try to get clean. The pool doesn’t get cleaned often enough. There is music by the pool which is very loud and goes until 9 or later every night. It is easily heard in rooms. The staff were friendly and helped put up umbrellas and chairs but that was the only positive. There charged over $20/day for parking which wasn’t mentioned in the description. Overall very disappointed.

I Love coming to this vacation spot. The only thing was that the hot tub was out of order and the showers outside from beach were not working proper. But still love coming here. Sometimes on ocean things happen and been to property for six years and this was the ONLY time we had some issues. But pool was still open and had a great time.

I love this hotel. When I come to the beach by myself -as I did with this trip- I feel safe, comfortable and appreciated as a guest here. Staff is friendly and rooms are always clean. When I leave to go shopping or to go grab dinner, I am familiar enough with the area to know just a few miles up or down the road I will find gas, groceries, or food. I will continue to stay here on future trips.
