The property was clean and the attendants were friendly. The breakfast room was waaay too small, and the price was a bit on the high side, but otherwise, we enjoyed our stay. The beds were comfortable and clean.

Disappointed Patron

Stay was disappointing beginning with a call before arriving to say the hotel was overbooked and my King bed reservation had been downgraded to a queen bed with no monetary credit. I was offered 1000 Wyndham points for my reservation and then the desk clerk said I couldn’t have them because I booked through hotels.com. Also our keys didn’t work and had to return to the main desk for fix.

No ocean view on first floor as advertised!

Carpet was stained, lied about oceanview room on first floor, its only part of second floor. Calls made to ask for help, was dismissed that they couldn't help. Very difficult to contact customer service. Links didnt work ever.
