Overall okay
Overall not bad. I was not impressed by the high pet fee compared to other properties and the parking fee is something that was not listed when I booked or I would not have chosen this hotel. A similar hotel right down the beach does not charge a parking fee and their pet fee was $25 per night making it half what this one was for a small dog. Overall it worked for our stay but unfortunately due to the cost for what it is we will not choose it again. Also we checked the breakfast photos online to be sure our children had something they would eat only to go out both days and see the pancake machine not stocked to use which was the only item our littlest would have eaten. Also disappointing.

Everything was perfect….only thing I found disappointing was breakfast. It ends at 9:30 which is a little too early for people on vacation who would like to sleep in. I did go eat this morning but it was not the best. Sausage patties were disgusting honestly. I did still appreciate having something available though. Overall, lovely hotel & would stay again.

Property said it was pet friendly but when I arrived they told me there was a weight limit Of 35 pounds and charged me extra $50. Not cool. Weight limit should have been on the website. Will not be staying here ever again.

The staff was very friendly. The room was clean. There was a dirty wash cloth left on the rod in the bathroom. However, I can see how it got left. I actually had went in the bathroom twice before I seen it. I called down stairs the guy quickly came and got it. People are human we all mistakes, I wasn’t mad. One of their amenities was bicycles….. oh I loved that! I’d stay again.

A clean place. Friendly staff. The parking fee for paying guests is pathetic. If I was not a guest, I would have no problem with a parking fee, but being a paying guests, any parking fee is just an easy money grab, that also WAS NOT DISCLOSED IN THE BOOKING.

Didn't like being charged for parking. Really? Wasn't told about this until after we arrived. Parking lot was narrow and difficult to maneuver in our Suburban.
