Very Good

Nice California style hotel. Nice gulf view, easy to walk to restaurants. Room was large and comfortable. The bed not so much, it was really hard, we had to ask for extra pillows and coffee makings. The staff was very helpful. Breakfast was ok. Over all a good stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
close to beach, but accommodations were very sparse. Only two towels were left even though housekeeping was every other day. Had to go downstairs to get an ice bucket.
The rooms were very clean and it was very close to restaurants and the ocean. It’s best to get a room with a window facing the ocean. The room I had had a window but it was facing another wall. I didn’t like that…I couldn’t tell if it was day or night. The room was in excellent condition.
The staff was very nice and friendly. We were able to check in early and rest up before going to the beach which was right across the street. 😃 We loved the room we were in especially with the view. The only critique I have is having to pay for parking I don’t know why someone that is paying to stay at your facility should have to pay to park there. That’s all.
The road outside was loud at night. Thermostat kept clicking on and off all night. Bed was not comfortable, especially the pillows. The breakfast could be improved, had biscuits but no gravy. Clean overall.
I asked three times for someone to look at my shower the water barely came out no one ever showed up so we left a day early so we could shower. When I expressed my concerns the girl said yeah I saw the message in the group chat but don’t know why no one has shown up. When I asked if the low water pressure is normal she I don’t know I’m not gonna lie to you. At check in I asked for a box fan and the two young kids working looked at each other and laughed. I said does that mean no and they just stared at me. Went to breakfast and there was an employee standing around watching everyone but not doing anything there was one pancake. It was just an overall horrible experience with no customer service.
I like the location right by everything walkable to areas staff was nice only downfall was a bunch of dogs almost stepped on poop by the elavtor
Pillows uncomfortable probably need to put 4 instead of 3 my wife only had 1 pillow and it’s wasn’t good and the ocean view we paided for was at a angle had a huge pillar blocking half the view
