Good

I would never again stay in this property again. They only had one house keeper in the whole building. I waited about 30 mins before giving up for the front desk person because my key wasn’t working. When I checked in I Went to my room and I saw hair all over the toilet and floor. They don’t clean your room everyday. No breakfast included. also, you have to bring your dirty towels downstairs in order to get “fresh clean towels”. The building outside looks nice but inside I don’t know what’s going on. I just know I’ll never stay there again!!
They definitely need more staff
Although the hotel was under construction the manger was more than thrilled to show us the new rooms, provided detailed schedules for when things would start back up or when they would be finished. We stayed in a renovated room and could tell the difference!
Other than some of the other guests being loud and literally trashing the grill area the stay was pleasant. Great location too!
Under renovation which was not disclosed, extremely noisy , room did not have a phone, tv barely worked , AC blew hot air.
Pool was closed.
Extremely unsatisfied

Good sleep
They are renovating the lobby, is dust everywhere and construction noises around 8am, really didnt bother us because we were up around 8am anyway and the all family slept good, the room clean and smell good, no noises at night and the hotel is in a good spot, the beach is 5 min walking, restaurants and bars are close that we didnt have to drive at all. We definitely coming back.
Hotel was being remodeled TV didn't work in our room and when we went for breakfast it was a muffin, breakfast bar in a bag with coffee or juice. Maybe after remodel it will be better.
