Very quick check in and out. Stayed 2 night, asked for new sheets second day and they had someone come in and clean whole room over again plus new sheets for both beds, all we needed was the sheets but were so pleased with how above and beyond they went. Rooms were updated, very roomy and clean, didnt hear anyone around us so noce and quiet as well. Used laundry on site, worked great. The pool was warm and very enjoyabke for us and the kids. Have a tiki bar right next to the pool which is AWESOME. Racetrac located right nextdoor and only 15min to a good beach. Only downfall was current construction on the building following the last hurricane but didnt bother us much and wed definitely come back!

It is a solid stay for the price.

This was my 2nd time staying here in the past year. Overall the price isn’t bad for the stay. Building itself needs some repairs. The room was good. Bathroom could have been cleaned better due to hair being left behind.
