Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The location is excellent and the staff is amazing. The rooms are updated but, they sell you a King bedded room when its really 1 queen. The water in the sink wouldnt go down, the shower was really slippery and very difficult to get out of. The water pressure from the shower head is dismal at best. The room snelled like BBQ.The breakfast was yogurt, cereal boxes, plastic wrapped bread and orange juice. Not worth it. Valet was super expensive for them to park it outdoors. The entire car was filthy when we got it back. The price is worth ONLY for the location and the amazing service of the staff. It was not worth the money spent.

All staff was amazing that we worked with. They were very accommodating when our flight was cancelled. The only downfall was the walls are thin and we could hear the neighbors.

Been coming here for many years they put zero effort into the upkeep of the property…lets start here: check in was a nightmare; they gave us a room for 2 when we booked a room for 3 with ocean view; it took over 1 hour to get the room we booked. Also the guy checking us in offered us valet for $60 a night and caught him offering the next guest $45 a night.... the sink faucet is falling off, toilet is leaking, the shower head doesn't work correctly, the blow dryer looks from 1980 and it's filthy. The chairs on the patio are falling apart. The lady who cleaned the room didn't even make the "extra" bed which is not a bed but a couch! …forget about the breakfast, expect an apple and 99cents wrapped muffin from Walmart that has 1,000 ingredients…do yourself a favor and skip this place the only good thing about it is the location. Also there's a resort fee of 30 per day for water and beach towels but there were no beach towels in the room... It is clear this place has no standards. I would not recommend.
