I had a disappointing experience during my stay. While the location was convenient, being only a short walk from the beach, the advertised handicap accessible features were not present, which made my stay frustrating. The room conditions were also lacking, and I had to deal with poor service regarding check-in and assistance. The value for what I paid was not justified, in light of these issues.

Rooms

The rooms were far from handicap accessible, and I had to sleep on the floor due to inadequate bedding options. The room was cramped and did not meet the fundamental needs of my party.

Service

Check-in was confusing and unhelpful, as the manager was absent when I needed assistance. The staff appeared indifferent to my complaints.

Location

The location was decent, about a 15-minute walk to beach access, but not the beachfront property I was promised.

The lack of on-site support and the need to take out my own trash diminished the convenience of the facilities.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, which was perfect for our beach trip. The rooms were clean, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, making our unexpected stay enjoyable. The walk to the beach was short, and I loved having the pool to relax in. Plus, it was also nice to be close to restaurants and shops. However, since we didn't have an on-site dining option, that could be something to look into improving. Overall, it was a fantastic value for the summer season.

I had a great stay at this hotel during the July 4th holiday! The location was perfect for my trip, and the room setup was ideal for being close to the beach. The staff, especially Keegan, were incredibly helpful and made my check-in smooth. However, the air conditioning unit was a bit noisy, which made it hard to hear the TV at times. Despite that, I would definitely consider staying here again.

Our stay at the resort was incredibly relaxing and felt like a home away from home. The clean and comfortable rooms added to the experience, and the location was perfect for morning beach walks. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. However, the dining options were limited and not as appealing as we had hoped, and while there was a pool, it could have been better maintained. Overall, it was good value for money.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with clean, spacious rooms and a friendly staff that made us feel welcome. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the beach and near some great local restaurants. While there weren't many dining options for breakfast, the coffee and juice in the lobby were a nice touch. Overall, this place offers great value for money, but keep in mind there is no ocean view or direct beach access.
