Family vacation, hotel is pet friendly. Breakfast provided, they even had cookies and a happy hour during the week. It met our needs, but would prefer a big doggie relief area.

Easy check in, FANTASTIC location, mostly clean and comfortable room. There was some noise from the parking lot/pool but the A/c fan was enough to drown the sound so we could sleep. Breakfast was good (pretty standard) with fresh apple/banana, yogurt, something hot daily like pigs-in-a-blanket, and cereals/waffles, etc. Golf cart rental from the lobby was convenient and no hassle. Would stay heeds again. Good value!

We stayed here for quick trip to the beach. The location of hotel was great. The hotel itself was ok but not sure I would stay here again. Didn't have major issues with the hotel besides our door knob being semi broken. The guests that stayed same night with us were so bad. They like to stand outside and you can hear everything. It was so noisy so we didn't sleep good at all. Can hear everything above you. I also wish the employees would wear some type of uniform or even a Tshirt with hotel name. Also if you want ice, one ice machine is broken and the other, well you have to beat the people who are filling chests for fishing. Breakfast was ok.

We have stayed here many times over the years and works great for us. Clean, friendly, centrally located and dog-friendly, all we need. We appreciate the full kitchen rooms. Great stay at an even better price in the off-season.
