The hot tub hours are supposed to be 7am but actual is 10am. Breakfast buffet was very good especially booking the day before for 1/2 price. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom having an open concept shower was very good. Water pressure in the shower was a bit low. Overall a good stay. Room was not quite ready when we arrived at the door so a slight miscommunication between cleaner and front desk.

Pictures on website is not the same place. Old and dated and smells old and musky. It was fairly clean but whatever they mop the bathroom with makes the floors slippery when you have shoes on. Not worth the money spent. For the same price I’ve stayed on the beach in Daytona and it was a beautiful hotel that was new and very upscale. This place need to be remodeled ASAP.

Worst experience ever

This has been the worst hotel and booking experience in my entire life. I have basically been robbed. My money is gone, and there has been no hotel stay. An adjustment to my reservation was requested 4 days before original booking but was denied by the property. Clearly before the deadline on their policy. I work in the hospitality industry and never would have expected this treatment.
