"I only stayed for one night because I just needed somewhere to stay in the area. The hotel was pretty rundown, and when I asked for an extra pillow, they didn’t have any available. 😭 If you just need a place to sleep for one night, I would say it gets the job done. However, if you’re traveling and ..."

"Overall the hotel was nice and the location wouldn't be beat. Amenities as far as the private beach and poolside bar/ restaurant were also great. However, the bathroom was small, and in general, the room overall was sparse re in-room amenities. One issue was some (not all) front desk staff had the personality of a stone. When checking in, I asked if it would be possible for a late (extra hour) checkout. I was told, in monotone, "We do not extend late checkouts." Fortunately, I went down early the next morning and asked the front desk manager (different person) again if we could get a late check-out; this time the response was a much more empathetic "I'm really sorry, we've got a lot of rooms booked tonight, but I can get you a half-hour extra," which was fine. One last constructive criticism - parking was tight. We were out late, and upon returning (even though we had a parking pass) all spots were taken. We were able to make our own spot - so all ended well."

"The room was clean and inviting. Towels were immaculate and well stocked. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. Dinner at The Three Sister was not so great. Everything was very greasy. We had Coffee at the little cafe in the back hallway and the coffee was excellent along with Paula's donuts. We had breakfast at the Full Plate and it was very good."
