Last minute overnight stay

Bridget at front desk was very helpful. Hotel/Rooms could be updated but had everything you needed. Clean rooms and very spacious. Best views from balcony that was very large and on waterfront. Easy access to walk the beach and indoor pool. Wish we could get a last minute deal price this summer! We would stay for a Week!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room had several air purifiers in the space, along with a musty smell. We only stayed for a few hours - after returning from dinner after checking in, we found that the bed linens not only hadn't been changed, but were stained, wet, and had some sort of bodily fluids on them. Due to booking with Expedia, we were unable to get a refund, but we left and drove home at midnight rather than stay another minute at this place.
