We arrived late and left early the next morning so we only interacted with 2 staff members. Both were very nice and accommodating. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Overall, it was a very nice stay. We will be back in the future.

Over All a great stay. I would recommend

Check-in was great and very easy, as was check-out. My only issues were that my drain in the tub/shower did not drain properly and that there was some mold and pealing paint at the bottom of the wall near the tub.

It's in a secluded area and very quiet. The hotel was very clean and the breakfast was nice. There were a few cosmetic issues in the bathroom but it was clean and comfortable. The young lady that checked us in was very cheerful and helpful. If your in the area i would recommend.

I loved how out in the country it was. So quiet and slept well. The place needs some serious maintenance and TLC, but not it wasn’t horrible or anything, and the guy doing everything was very polite and helpful.

This was a basic hotel that was clean and comfortable. We selected a room with a balcony/Gulf view. The balcony was small and the railing was covered with black mold. We had bleach wipes but we went through a lot of them just to lighten the color of the mold. with that being said, it was an excellent location with an excellent view and access to the beach.

Upgrades needed

The hotel is need of major renovations. Our bathroom ceiling had terrible patch work. If that had not been the closet hotel to our destination we would have checked out. It was only 1 night. Room furniture upgrades are needed. The staff was polite & professional despite their extreme busyness that afternoon. Overall the hotel was fine.

Needs TLC to keep it looking like new!!

Its a newer hotel but the upkeep of the property could be much better. The carpets need a serious deep cleaning! The elevator smelled really bad because of the carpet. Didn't have any other problems. The beds were comfortable and they always had hot water! The breakfast was decent for a free breakfast.
