Disliked: Amenities
We loved the big room with the sunken living room and whirlpool tub. Unfortunately, we had to clean the tub ourselves before using it, and confetti (yes, confetti) came flying out the jets, so it had to be cleaned before use. We also had to clean the toilet seat and some spots on the walls should have been wiped down.

Stayed two nights at this location which was just 35 minutes to the beach. It’s a no frills spot but the room was clean, the AC was working well, and it has close proximity to some amazing restaurants. The decor is dated and there was only one tv in the two room suite. If the bedroom door was closed, the AC was not available in the other area. The bathroom had just two bath towels and we could have used another.

This place is clean, quiet, and gets the job done if you need a place to stay, but it is outdated and a bit dingy in spots so don’t come for the ambience.

Exhaustion and cost caused me to sleep here. At over 125 it wasn't worth it by a long shot. It was quiet and the AC worked but it is rundown and 3 very soft pillows on a king bed isn't great.

When I walked into the room it was not what I was expecting based on the photos and description. The sheets were clean and the shower pressure was good, but the general maintenance of the room was not good and I had to wipe the surfaces down because they were not clean. The bathroom was much different than what is pictured.

The ac worked great but it was in the 50's during my stay and my room had no heat. The hot tub in the room was large and nice to soak in to keep warm.

Me and a few friends have been coming here for the past 6 or 7 years and will continue to come here. It's starting to show some wear, the shower was badly patched, but overall it is a great place to stay and it is clean, and the staff is there when you need them.
