Property was in a nice area but really showed its age! Outlets were few and far between and the ones they had were so bad we couldn't charge our phones correctly. Lighting was terrible, and the free breakfast was a disgusting free for all! My wife got food poisoning from the turkey sausage! Staff never said hello unless you were checking in or out. We're very disappointed and won't be back!

Gentlemen who answered my call was nice but the lady that Sunday evening in the front desk had a bit of spice which is questionable service but overall it was fast and easy. The shower door didn’t seal all the way in our room so it left water on the bathroom floor. Very cool that they have a waffle maker that comes along with the breakfast! Only a few minutes drive from the beach !

My stay was great here. The rooms were nice, clean, roomy had everything we needed. We really enjoyed the fact that they had coffee 24/7 available. Breakfast is nice in the morning. Not the best but not the worst. The bed was a little too firm for me but okay over all.
