Cute colorful stay, quite roomy room with everything we would need for a weekend stay. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! We walked into a bit of a stuffy room and were unable to figure out how to make the room feel cooler. We reached out to front and they were quick to respond and help us out. Enough parking which is nice, close to grocery stores, dollar tree and many restaurants. The room was decently clean, there was a hole in the headboard and the cushion seat looked like it needed a vacuum. Bed was comfy and there’s a tiki hut bar that plays live music but unfortunately it was closed for a private event. Fun weekend and a nice play to stay for the weekend for the price.

1960’s property being reimagined into a “cool & funky” hotel. They are doing a reasonable job of this focus. BUT, this is an old property….caution in enthusiasm. It was perfectly ok for a couple of nights and well priced. Keep expectations under control. Adjacent TIKI bar is VERY COOL 😎.

This is such a fun property to stay at. The pool is huge and salt water. The rooms are decorated midcentury modern which is pretty cool. We had a balcony on second floor which was great to sit outside on for a breeze. Air conditioner worked well. We loved the tiki bar next door, and the food truck across the street will blow your mind. The rooms were clean, but outside could definitely use a cleaning. But dont let that worry you. We bought a few souvenirs the night we checked in.. and by the next morning on wednesday i wished i had more.. but they dont let the front desk do any sales.. just the manager can. But the manager decided to not come in that weekday so thats kind of bummed us out. We could have waited till the bar opened at 12, but with a 11am checkout thats not really an option.

The Tiki Bar is everything! The bartender and the guests in the bar sang happy birthday to me and the drinks were awesome! I didn't like that I was originally assigned a room on the second floor. This property is motel style--No Elevators! The front desk staff changed me to a first floor accommodation without issue. All the staff were very welcoming.

Stayed here multiple times, one of my favorite places to stay in the area. There were a couple issues in the room I had. The deadbolt did not lock and did not feel safe, woke up after my first night to the door ajar. There were stains on the towels and shower curtain. I notified the front desk when I checked out and was told a manager would contact me and have yet to hear from someone.
