I spent 7 nights there with my 16 year old daughter and loved it. The hotel is a little dated, but it’s on the beach has 2 pools, lounge chairs and picnic tables in front of the rooms. There are multiple charcoal grills for guests to use and the staff was amazing. It’s also only a 5 minute walk to Pier Park Mall! My only three wants would be, larger soap, shampoo, conditioner, a microwave from 2020’s and maybe free beach chairs and umbrellas.

This is a great location and affordable accommodation. It is very dated, but i did not spend a lot of time in the room. The staff were very nice and helpful. It was walking distance to Walmart and several restaurants…even TopGolf. It is not a bougie place, but beachside and beach view. I would stay here again, my wife would not stay here.

The outside looks really bad but the inside was nice and clean. It has a full kitchen with a stove, sink, fridge and microwave. Everything you need is there. Silverware, dishwashing rag, hand drying towel. They have 3 pools, a hot tub and its on the beach. The staff were really nice and security was doing a great job of making rounds. They also have board games and popcorn. Shopping stores across the street. Also, places to eat and drink across the street also.I was very satisfied.
