The hotel needs some major renovating. Bathroom, carpets, bed frames and kitchen were all extremely old. We stayed on the 8th floor.

My first time was in 1993 with my husband and two kids. We had moved from ATL with very little money and knew no one. So, for our first move, first Thanksgiving, and new marriage we decided to try the beach. This hotel was affordable and kid friendly (kids could eat free) It has been EPIC since! We brought our grands (3 years old twins and a 5 year old) this weekend- June 24, 2022 (25 years later) and it was a blast! Thank you for making two generations of kids happy!

The room we had smelled like mold. The sprinkler was broke and hanging on the wall with what looked like flex seal tape or something. We wasnt in the room much and didnt feel like dealing with the hassel and wasting our trip arguing with management when the town was pack for senoir week so there probably werent any other rooms to give us so we ignored it the best we could. This place was horrible. The Holiday Inn up the street looks way better. I'll never stay at this one again.

The pool area is amazing. Like being at a resort in the Caribbean but smaller! The balcony views were breathtaking

This hotel was okay. It wasn’t what I expected for the price we paid. There was an awful stench on the floor we stayed on. There wasn’t really much of an option for food unless you like Italian food. On the last night of my stay I woke up to a mouse running across my room floor(2am)I wanted to get up and leave immediately but that wasn’t an option at the time being that I had 4 children with me.
