Clean room, towels by the pool that also has 2 hot tubs! Walk to the cross walk to get to the beach is about 5 mins which is worth it since it’s safer than just crossing the road. The area of the beach it’s around is more quiet and less busy so it was perfect for us. Kroger and Walmart down the street also restaurants in walking distance. Amazing staff very friendly and the breakfast crew was amazing! I loved this hotel

Comfortable bed, the floor needed mopping though, bit of mildew smell throughout property and extreme in the elevator bank in the parking area. If you are allergic to mold this isn’t the place but otherwise nice room, breakfast, and location was great.

Deadbolt on door was impossible to lock due to wrong striker plate being installed. Security latch mounted to door frame was loose and flexing so that it would not be secure. Ceramic tile in entry and bath was broken in several places with grout missing and edges chipped in numerous places. Room had a moldy musty smell and before checkout noticed mold on wall paper border above bed. Have pics to document.
