One of the best family vacations the 5 of us have taken in quite a long time! This location is right on the beach, super easy check-in and friendly staff. Our only complaint would be the lack of available towels both in the room and at the pool.

Bathroom needs major updates. Windows and mirrors had all kinds of kids hand prints on them. Definite smell in the room.

Our stay at this hotel was decent due to the staff being so friendly and close proximity to the beach. I will say that our room smelled like mildew (similar to when you leave clothes in the washer for a few days), and when I let a staff member know, we didn’t receive a response. We finally figured out that it was the shower curtain, but not the end of the world. Our biggest complaint was the thinness of the walls and the absolute party house that was happening after hours. We ended up having to call the front at 1am to ask the people around us to stop screaming and blasting their music (we had our 4 year old with us). The gentleman who took my call was SO kind and handled it immediately, but I don’t think I would return as a family due to the overall environment and lack of peace and quiet.

Room was nice and clean. Front desk was kind and attentive. Location is great and right on the beach. Walls are very thin. You can hear everything and all conversations in the room next to you which means they can hear you too. I had to listen to a couple fight and man yelling at his children, their children screaming and banging on the wall, and their TV on blast last into the night. Workers were repairing things and hammering all afternoon while cursing and teasing each other and I could hear it all. I was trying to be on a conference call but had to cancel it because of the noise and them sounding like they were in my room. Was a nice place but definitely needs insulation or something for sound and construction employees should show discretion.

My family and I stayed for the weekend, and had a really nice time! The room was very clean and mostly comfortable. There could have been another seating option besides just the couch, but it worked fine for the amount of time we spent in there. Also, curtains on the windows would have made it more comfortable It was very bright in the room with just the blinds, which made it a little challenging when trying to sleep. Overall the trip was a success! We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place!

We last minute decided on this vacation - we got to check in a little early after driving a very long way - The staff was friendly and the rooms were spacious for our family. Location was great - pool was awesome! Would stay again for sure.
