I didn’t use the gym but it looked decent as did the pool. Great proximity to a nice beach area and to local shops and restaurants. Facility was clean. Like many beach hotels, everything is always slightly damp and stuff never dries, so maybe laundry facilities would be a nice addition. Staff was excellent.

Nice non-beach front hotel

We stayed here for a long weekend away. There were a good handful of restaurants and convenience stores close by. The beach was a few blocks away, as you had to walk across the main road and walk to Cedarwood to get to the public walk-way. My only complaints were that room service had a fee, and that there was nothing to clean the gym equipment with. I’ve never been to a hotel in which room service was only provided if you paid for it, as most hotels I’ve stayed in, had it included. You also had to pay $10/day to park the car in the lot. The breakfast bar from 7-10 was nice. I liked how there was tea, coffee, and cookies offered throughout the day in the front of the hotel. Overall, I would come back if I were ever in the area again.

Elevator broken during trip and not an amazing breakfast, but was very very good especially for the affordable price. The room was larger than expected, the free golf was a nice plus too, and within walking distance of the beach. Would definitely return if I am in the area again.
