The hotel is a good place to stay. The only issue, right at 5:40a, guests and staff start moving around where a person cannot sleep in past 6:30 or 7a. Otherwise, we had a good time! This wasn't our first time nor will it be our last. This is a great hotel to stay for vacation, hang out at the beach, or just getting away from it all!😎Thx again!
