We loved the size of the rooms and the location. Easy access to where we were going. Nice pool. Felt the floors in bedrooms could have been cleaner. No cups for coffee and no cleaning service. We really enjoyed the convenience to restaurants and beach!

Definitely the best bang for your buck! If you’re looking for the Hilton this is not it. But if you want a quick and economical stay this is it. Everything and anything you would want to do is within walking distance. Nice get away for a weekend with the wife/ husband with out kids

We were highly disappointed with our stay. We had to pay $250 for one night and our hotel fridge was broken, the bathroom had not been cleaned, the bathtub had hair and dirt all in it, there was hair on our bedding and there were people right outside our door talking and laughing until about 3am!! So needless to say we didn’t sleep much.
