Our room was very clean and accessible. The front lobby/breakfast area was charming and cozy. Breakfast was adequate but minimal. Lots of granola bars. The location was convenient and easy to get to. My only complaint was that the gal at the front desk seemed a bit grumpy, but maybe she was just tired.

Friendly customer service at check in and throughout my stay. My room was clean and bed was comfortable. My room had a nice whirlpool in the room with a nice shower. Plenty of free parking. This location was walkable to several restaurants and beach. My biggest complain was that there was not enough hot water. In the morning when I went to shower there was not hot water, which was frustrating. Overall is was a good stay.

Although hotel is clean and well maintained, it’s as though you’ve stepped back into 1970’s with its style and bold colors. We had a one night stay and unfortunately did not use the pool or hot tub. Our only encounter with staff was at check-in and front desk person was not very friendly.

The room was comfortable. Nicely updated property. Pool area was lovely. The biggest negative was lack of staff presence. This lent an inhospitable atmosphere. The breakfast continental breakfast was not refreshed regularly - again lack of friendly staff. Were they hiding from the guests?
