Disappointing

Not good. We reserved a dunes view room and paid extra for it and we received a handicap accessible room with a view of the parking lot. We were told there were no other rooms available. We will not use this hotel again. We have in the past and loved it, but it has gone down hill and the room situation was so disappointing. The rooms were not cleaned every day either.

Great location, uncomfortable beds.

The location and private beach access was perfect. The free breakfast was also good, they had a good amount of breakfast options. However the beds were so uncomfortable, my kids and I were miserable from lack of sleeping. I can’t really express in words how uncomfortable those beds were, but that is the only reason why I would not stay there again. The bathroom was also tiny and hard to change in, especially when privacy is needed when you have older kids and are all sharing a room.

Nice little getaway

The room was pretty clean some little things I noticed like the tub could you a major scrub, the doors on the inside were leaking rust and the handle had mold around it. The pool could use a good cleaning as well around the rim of the pool there was mold and algae. Besides the tub being stained the rest of our room was clean. I loved that they came in daily and refreshed our towels and beds. Beds were very comfortable. Staff was very nice. Breakfast served was good. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would come back again!

Included breakfast was very convenient. Breakfast area (both indoors and outdoors) was clean and well-maintained. Bedrooms were clean and well-maintained. Two suggestions - investigate the amount or water on the outside walkways coming from AC units and try and reduce the loud slamming of doors due to the door closers.

Perfect location—minutes to many restaurants and shopping and right on the beach! Walkway to the beach was very helpful! Staff was friendly checking in, at breakfast and cleaning the room. Room was spacious but the bathroom was super tiny. Also the lock to the back door for the patio was insanely hard to lock.

I booked the room several weeks before our arrival, and received a phone call that they overbooked the junior suite that we intentionally booked to accommodate my mother-in-law with a wheelchair. Shutters overbooked the room for the first night that we were to be there, but did put us in a different Room for the first night and we had to relocate the second night and third night for our stay. While it was very inconvenient, they did what they could to make the situation correct with us.
