It was a great stay. The pool area was exceptional. We could see it from our balcony. It looked like a great place to hang out with friends or with children. Our view was great. We could see the gulf even though the hotel does not have beach access. We could walk to restaurants, ice cream and souvenir shops and the beach. Great place.

Could've Take It After 2 Nights

This is a hard one. The photos of this hotel do not accurately show it as it actually is. The pluses are the front desk staff. They were very nice and helpful. The property has a very cute little private beach area, pool and playground but they weren't kept clean very well. The bed was comfortable but the room was dirty, towels were not very clean and had hair in them. The weather was very humid and the choice was to keep the room very cold otherwise the floor, surgace space would become wet with pools of water collecting all over the floor. Our clothes, towels, sheets felt damp all the time. We left for a different property after 2 nights as we could not stand the room anymore. It is more of a motel with outside walks so lots of noise. We suffered from cigarette smoke as the people below us lined their chairs on the walkway and smoked a lot. This place could be made into something special with the little beach, pool, playground but it has to be cleaned often and consistently. Some sort of dehumidifiers of a commercial level needs to be installed in the guest rooms.

The lady serving breakfast this tuesday and thursday offered excellent services. Friendly, informative, diligent. She also spoke multiple languages and communicated with guests in guests' languages. She even made waffles for customers and brought waffles to them once made, when she had spare times. We enjoy that special services!

Disappointed

Totally false advertising on your website. The “beach” access was tiny stinky and full of boats which your pictures did not show. The pool was small and gross so I never got to swim due to that ( I could not see the swimming children’s feet in the water we had a wailing dog in the adjoining room next door so not much sleep and there was mold on the bathroom door and door frame Front desk staff were excellent and breakfast was good tho

Overall is a 4/5 stars for our family. Loved the free bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, ice for the beach and extra towels for the on-site beach access/pool. Elizabeth at breakfast and her hospitality is beyond amazing! Hotel breakfast can be hit and miss, but this hotel offers great choices of meat/eggs/waffles and milk/juice/fresh fruit!! Elizabeth keeps the waffle irons running, making your waffles for you hot and ready with minimal wait times!! It is a very short walk to Beach and very conveniently located near shopping/dining/night life, yet far enough from all the weekend/late night goers for a quiet relaxing night watching the sunset. This is a great place to stay for families, but only offers 1 king bed or 2 queen beds… for larger families, you have to get two or more rooms. I rated this a 4/5 stars because the ac was not cold and full of dust, my husband cleaned out the filter and when we moved one of the beds so that the kids didn’t fall into the 12” space between the wall and the mattress, the floor was filthy underneath. You have to ask for housekeeping services before 8am if you would like cleaning services; however they did come and clean up the filth and then some. Overall, my family was satisfied and would stay here again!
