The hot tubs are actually hot and they have two at this property. Plus what I really liked that at night they had blue LED lights showing out the hotel so you could easily spot it in the lineup of buildings. Easy to find day or night. Hotel color on outside is blue and white.

This hotel has a serious mildew/ mold problem. It smells really bad. But it has large rooms, comfortable beds, big bathrooms, a partial view of the gulf, and a very generous breakfast buffet all for $86 a night. If you can live with the smell, it is a good deal.

Room was nice and clean. Beds were comfortable. Only thing wrong was no shuttle to the pier (cruise ship). Other than that it was fine. Just keep this in mind if your on a cruise.

Minor issues but overall great

First off, Robert at the front desk is awesome! From the second I walked in, he greeted me with excitement and was consistent with it until I checked out. The room was clean, it had a nice view of the beach. When we pulled out the sofa bed, we did see a dead roach. The water pressure in the shower could definitely be better & the wifi was soooo slow. Other than that, it was great & we would stay here again in the future.

The desk staff was helpful however the cleaning staff was not. None of them spoke English so when asked for towels and soap they had no clue what we were saying so getting restocked never happened.
