While our particular room upstairs was mostly quiet, the management could be more involved in keeping the noise down at night. My daughter was downstairs and the people in the next room were being loud and playing music till 2:00 in the morning. She called the front desk and they would not do anything. She ended up banging on the wall and having to yell at them to shut up. On the good side, they serve a hot breakfast in the mornings. The pool area is very nice and in general, our family enjoyed being right across from the ocean (gulf) and the food options close by.

We loved the location of the property. Literally right across the street from the beach. Ropms were clean but had a couple broken towel racks. A/C worked great. Breakfast was disappointing. Tasted like frozen food that had been thrown into a cooker. Pool and hot tub were nice. Overall, great experience and we would return here!

If you are bougie and need a spa like hotel, this is not the place for you. Driving up to the hotel that first day, my hubby ask"Who booked this place?" But by the end of our stay we learned to never judge a book by its cover. The rooms are older, but some uodates have been made. The pool was clean with an outside bar. Breakfast was free. The location was covenient to restaurants and shops were about a 10 minute drive away. Sitting at the bar you got a full view of the ocean that was directly across the street. My family would stay here again

Bed was comfortable and rooms were clean. Complimentary breakfast was decent. We booked this hotel because we like a hot tub, but it was open to the public and so was crowded all the time. The restaurant was excellent. The only reason I would not stay there again is the hot tub is open to the public.

Bar and hot tub open to public. Just a party place. The amenities sound great, pool , hot tub and bar sounds and looks beautiful and sounds great. It was part of the reason we choose to stay here, also Family owned business. We could not even get near hot tub or area so full with bar patrons just sitting on edge of hot tub, Eating and drinking while being in water. There were kids even hanging out at bar area.🙁

Overall the stay was very nice. The place is a bit older as are most places right on the ocean but the beds were very comfortable and clean. The bathroom was very small but usable. Kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Would stay here again.

Don’t Recommend

The lady who checked me in was very rude and told me the wrong directions to my room, opposite side of the hotel. I had to climb stairs several times to find my room and I was already tired from a 9 hour drive. When I asked 2 housekeeping ladies were my room was 1 ignored me and the other talked on her phone and just shook her head at me while saying “no”. Neither even tried helping me. After going back to the office I was finally told correct directions by a 3rd lady working behind the desk. The room was nice but needs some attention to detail cleaning - windows had hand prints, shelves were dusty, foot print on bathroom door, bedding stained… needs a deep clean!!! Unfolded linens in the cabinet by the door, broken fridge door handle, rug/flooring looks 100 years old. I was told at check in housekeeping doesn’t come to the room unless we let them know the night before, when I called to ask for new towels and washcloths I was told I needed to bring them to the office and get my own. I’ve never had a hotel tell me to bring them my dirty stuff, very rude and bad customer care. I never took my stuff to the office, I went to Walmart and bought my own.
