Front desk person with very poor customer service skills. A team with about 50 teenagers stayed the same night, the entire hotel was a race track for them after 11:00 pm when we called the front desk his excuse was that the guys were young and just arriving to the premises and eventually be quiet. The kids were running in the hallways and knocking doors and hotel personnel never reacted.

I have yet to stay at such an old property! The smell of dust and old furniture when you just walk into the room threw me off immediately. Filthy bathrooms, furniture is in desperate need of being upgraded. An air freshener would help bring the place to life

Clean rooms/felt safe

Rooms where really clean and staff was very helpful and kind. I love the fact the hotel isn’t in the middle of town. Really easy access to free way and the Bluff/seal sanctuary. I was on the top floor like I request. Close to a shopping center for whatever you need!! I used the UPS store cause I overpacked and had to send my souvenirs home lol Pool was nice and warm even in February and the hot tub was nice. I felt safe and everything went as planned!!
