The front desk staff was very helpful and accommodating by making sure the 2 rooms booked were next to each other. It would have been nice to have coffee available in the lobby for us early risers but the beach view and sunrise were absolutely amazing!

Staff was friendly. Bed was clean. Things needed to be wiped down better. Hotel is a little out dated needs updating and repairs. I think because they are right on the beach which is nice they haven’t done a lot of upgrading.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Yes, the room was clean, the staff was good. There was only two or three things that I wasn't satisfied with one we didn't know how to work the TV. I thought you could smoke on the balcony for my husband. I thought that that you guys served breakfast in the morning with the package. But I don't think that was your fault I look at a lot of different places to stay.I think I just gotta mix up.
