Rooms were decorated nicely, but the comfort of cleanliness lacked. Staff was helpful and all our needs were met. We appreciated the staff and location during our stay. Thank you!

Everything was just as in the photos and descriptions. The pool was nice. What wasn’t nice was the fact that the person next to me had a dog and would let them out at four in the morning and everything echoes because all the doors go to the outside and if somebody goes down the stairs, it echoes through the property so I woke up at 4 AM every day. I know it’s a dog and there’s nothing you can do about it but there needs to Perhaps some sort of rules about it.

CONS: - Seemed like they were undergoing renovations although nothing was publicly announced. - Hallway carpets were pretty filthy/stained - Was told at check in there would be warm breakfast in the morning (and their website published “continental” but this was a Grab and Go breakfast. Only options: bagels, yogurt, apple or orange. - A fluorescent light was right over my room #212 so it was never dark. - A palm tree was up against my window, so with the windy conditions, it kept me up at night. - They key badges didn’t work on the side gate PRO: - Close to the beach - Rooms are spacious and have been updated - Affordable
