Beds were old and creaky. WiFi wasn’t working. Seemed they were short staffed for their breakfast to keep items stocked. Would be helpful to have more than 1 waffle maker. Staff was friendly. For the cost it worked for a quick weekend getaway

Our overall experience was pleasant. Pros: the a/c was amazingggg; close to the beach & good restaurants; staff was kind and attentive; room was clean and spacious. Cons: we should’ve been in a 2 bedroom suite, but were in a room with 2 beds; low water pressure in shower; extremely noisy at night, all night long, although we could not figure out where the noises were coming from. Sounded like furniture being moved along the walls, floor and ceiling. Loud bangs throughout the night. We were above the office and had nobody above us. Sounded like remodeling however outside of our suite was quiet. Very strange. Pool and pool area is kind of small, but otherwise ok.7

Clean and comfortable at a great price

Easy check-in, Otis spunkmeyer cookies as a welcome gift, to drink happy hour and breakfast. This is way better than I anticipated for the price.

Easy check in, FANTASTIC location, mostly clean and comfortable room. There was some noise from the parking lot/pool but the A/c fan was enough to drown the sound so we could sleep. Breakfast was good (pretty standard) with fresh apple/banana, yogurt, something hot daily like pigs-in-a-blanket, and cereals/waffles, etc. Golf cart rental from the lobby was convenient and no hassle. Would stay heeds again. Good value!
