The staff at this hotel were very nice and accommodating! The location was perfect and the room had all we needed. Would definitely go back as we didn’t get to play the mini golf course. 😁

Staff were really nice. Roxy was very sweet and pleasant. Outside the building looks very nice, up to date. Inside though, I hate to say it but it just looks like lipstick was put on a pig. Maybe you should've spent a little more money fixing up the rooms as much as you did the Outside.

The staff was very friendly and kind! The beach was a short walk away and the bonus of free mini golf and coffee next door were great. The unit was clean but cupboards and furniture definitely need refreshing as they are rundown.
