Overall, we had a good experience. It was very worth the price in a you get what you pay for type of experience. This is not a fancy hotel but it is definitely stayable. I loved that we got to bring our pet along. The rooms are small, but clean and cozy with beachy vibes. Waffle house next door, walmart down the road, and beach access was only about 10 minutes. The pool could have colder and cleaner, but not terrible. Bring extra towels if needed. For a family of 5, there wasnt enough sleeping space, but it would fit 4 just fine. I loved having e tra spending money over a fancy expensive hotel. Oh, and if you are a fisher on vacation, the 3 day non residentail license is worth it, only $17. Its a cheap added experience to take your young son SALT WATER fishing. My 10 yr old loved it, and there is bank fishing opportunities all around. Definitely take your pet if able! Its an extra $25 a night, but well worth seeing your pup at the beach for the first time, our elanore loved the beach, and they even have a beach specified for dogs! My only suggestion for this hotel would be to make the property look more appealing on the outside and hire a better photographer for thier business page. The room was great, but my husband almost cancelled our reservation simply from the unappealing photo on the email confirmation. It gives a very sketchy vibe, but pictures can be decieving, and in this case they were. Great job owners! We will be back!
