This hotel is perfect if you’re looking for an affordable and clean place to stay with your family for vacation! The breakfast was great and offered a variety of options to choose from. Everyone was friendly and the beds were super comfortable. We will definitely be staying again in the future!
I really enjoyed my stay here while visiting the beach. The location was convenient, room was clean and smelled fresh. The staff was nice by welcoming us each time we left and came back. Upon arrival, we were provided with a visitor's guide for access to local attractions. The only negative was the when using the shower, almost everything would become damp from the steam. A vent would be take of this though. Overall, great stay !!
The hotel itself is in a great spot but due to road construction it was very hard to get in and out bc of the backed up traffic. The hotel room was outdated and needed some attention to some areas that were broken but overall a great place to stay. We were down for a ball tournament and it’s centrally located to everything. The breakfast bar was prob the best we have had at a hotel! The front desk staff were super nice and helpful! We would stay there again when we go for another tournament.
Check in was easy, the front dest personnel was super nice. Breakfast was hot daily, the room was clean and comfortable.
I had to book a separate room for a family member last minute and was able to do so with no problems
Front desk staff were very friendly and efficient. Breakfast area was restocked frequently, and the area was clean. The same options were served both days we were there-a little variety would have been nice. I also liked the amenities in the bathroom-there were Dove products in dispensers, so there were no little bitty bottles or bars of soap.
Me and my boyfriend went on our anniversary and the reviews really lived up to the expectations! The room was clean and nice and all of the staff were very respectful and kind!
