The rooms are very clean and nice. It’s just the outside looks like old hotel from years ago.

Booked a stay there for a concert I was attending at the outdoor venue basically less than 5 minutes away. Only downfall, was that I noticed spiderwebs near the bathroom sink. Comfy beds though!

It’s a cute little place! Well updated and accommodating! The bed was a bit softer than my back can stand but otherwise it was a great stay! The location is super convenient and parking was easy. My children enjoyed the pool greatly and I appreciated the contactless check in.

If had known the Bluejay was so dirty and had long term Tennants, we would have stayed elsewhere. Expedia's ratings were overrated.

We truly enjoyed our 2-night stay here with our fur baby! The property offers contactless check-in and check-out, and it’s in a great location—just a 5–10 minute walk to a private beach, restaurants, and more. I accidentally left my wedding band behind and immediately texted their customer service number. A live person responded right away, reached out to their housekeeping team, and quickly confirmed they had found it. Exceptional customer service! Highly recommend this place—we’ll definitely be coming back next year!

This property is contactless check in/checkout which was very convenient for us. They had a number you could text for any concerns which was very useful. The room was clean and pretty modern. Very walkable to casinos and shops! The only issues we had were the wifi was not working and our room TV did not work, which were not a huge deal for us. I would stay here again!
