Nice location. Pleasant grounds. Large room, nicely furnished. Some dinged walls, peeling paint, crumbling grout begging to be refreshed. Staff reasonable pleasant, though would not provide invoice on departure, saying Expedia would provide, which Expedia did not. Included breakfast was below average for hotel of this level.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The beach view from the room was not unobstructed and barely visible. The location of the building was convenient however, the building was old and this was obvious and not worth the money they charged. The service was not good at all: they acted annoyed when we asked for more towels and to have the trash taken out on day 3 of a 5 day stay and we had asked for more TP and they never brought any so I had to go the front desk to get some. There is no housecleaning while you stay but you can ask but see above. The warm breakfast service was a nice touch but considering what we paid for the room and all the other things that lacked, it is not enough to want to go back. Also, they charge $19/day extra for parking which should be part of that ridiculous room charge.
