The beach is as dirty as they get, and we heard every footstep of the people above us. At 1 we finally ask the lady at front desk to do something. Yet she did nothing. Terrible stay and I would not stay again.

It was comfortable, room was good, maybe a little 'dated', staff was good and efficient. Price was reasonable. Elevator was really slow an only one was in service when there were many, many high school guests trying to get from floor to floor. Commodes too low for older, mobility impaired guests,

AC didn’t work on arrival, quickly fixed. Room phone didn’t work. Staff was very rude except bartender and 1 lady in gift shop. Seemed more things were broken than working. Poolside means 1 door lockable from inside only and 1 door to exterior of building. $100 deposit is taken for the stay and refunded when you leave. Only good part was the beds. Would definitely not recommend this place and will not be staying here again.

Room was clean. Bathroom door didn’t lock. AC worked well. Indoor pool was full of drunk adults. Kids running everywhere. Adults had ice chest by the pool including glass. No security or hotel staff said anything to anyone. Hot tub full of kids. Won’t be back. Disappointed.
