8.6/10 Excellent! (1,002 reviews)

The outside of the building could use some tlc but inside was clean and updated. Staff was attentive, polite, & helpful. Breakfast was surprisingly better than I anticipated with hot options outside of the traditional continental options. Furniture around pool was pressure washed every morning and plentiful. There are no seating options for the beach however we would definitely stay here again.
