Affordable, and nice staff. There's a pool and easy access to the beach and looked like a bar that was open during the day next to the pool. I enjoyed my stay and will definitely stay here again due to the amenities and affordable suites and access to the beach and convenient parking, but it you want fancy go elsewhere as it is an older establishment.

Staff was SUPER friendly. I cant emphasize this enough. I this this single characteristic best defines a lodging location. Caveat: This hotel was rently purchased from Best Western and there are renovations ongoing. Bad: They charge for ice!!! Yeah. Ice machine is pay per service. That sux. We has a room with a kitchenette. But, only had one knife and no cooking utensils. No trash can in kitchenette or bedroom. Cable TV was pretty crappy. Bad reception, for the most part. Good. Did i mention a friendly staff? Parking was plentiful and accessible. Pool was heated to 84 degrees. EASY beach access (ON the beach). Laundry was free with good machines. Fridge and microwave worked great. Shower had plenty of hot water. Balcony provided view of pool area AND Gulf. Key cards kept crapping out and not working, but front desk personnel quickly made new ones each time... with a smile and kind words each time We will stay here again. No question. Im guessing the renovations will result in some improvements

Pros and Cons

While the room was spacious, it felt outdated while renovations were subpar and various fixtures were damaged or in ooor condition. The furniture wasn’t comfortable but offered plenty of seating and sleeping accommodations. The staff however were a pleasure to deal with and was definitely a high point of the stay. It was also fairly quiet and quaint which were huge bonuses as well. Overall I give it a 3/5. Not the worse place I’ve stayed at down there, but it wasn’t the best either.

Nice

I am a travel agent who recently had the opportunity to assess a specific location. During my visit, I noted that the accommodations lacked face towels in the room. Furthermore, breakfast was not available in the designated area. It is evident that the property would benefit from several updates, particularly concerning the ceiling and other facilities. I was located on the ground floor.

Beautiful oceanfront views, quiet and close to everything. The only negatives I would give it that there needs to be more parking, there was no washcloths only 3 towels and the pool and bar need to be open later than 10. Otherwise it was a very nice stay and the price was awesomebbb

It was okay.

Staff was friendly. Beds were comfy. Flys would come out of drain when we would turn on the shower. Room was surface clean but could use a good deep clean.
