Could be much better

View was good. Tiki bar area was fine. Disappointed in the very small shower and bathroom space. Very dark in room Only one light other lamps had been taken out at some point and not replaced according to front desk attendant. Not very pleased with several things. Hotel guests should not be charged for parking, disappointed in that. Was not aware of pets staying there until I heard them barking through the night. Not a fan of staying in hotel rooms where pets have slept. I have a lab but he sleeps where he is supposed to. Food at Breakfast buffet Sat. morning was cold and limited. Surely not worth the price charged. To be charged for coffee, 1st time in all my travels through the years I've had to pay for coffee at hotel I'm staying. My companion was even served a cold cup of coffee for refill one time. Things should be better than this especially for the price of the rooms per night.

Lovely location on the beach with beautiful beachside amenities (pool, complimentary beach chairs & umbrellas, tiki bar & restaurant), balcony. Our bed was just ok- with an upgrade we’d give this 5 stars.

You had to pay to park with no other options. The shower curtain stuck to you while showering. No courtesy coffee in morning as in past. Inside door night security lock had to be cut off with no replacement. Smell of mold. Siding door kept jamming. And more.

This is a pet friendly hotel. However, the pool music blared the entire night on our last night there. Front desk could not resolve and mgmt is not answering an email neither is the hotel answering the phone to discuss. Not a pleasant stay. Bathroom is very small.

Really liked the hotel. Was disappointed that they closed the beach bar and restaurant early after I arrived at the hotel around 5:30, they closed before 7:00 with no reason. I needed up having to order delivery.

The stay in may was a lot different then this stay. I do like the pet friendly. I dont like the change in the taking away of the pod coffee maker. And not having coffee out during the morning hours. You have to go on the restaurant to pay three dollars for coffee in the morning. The room was ok the was list for 309 and we were in 317. Just a big difference in stay from may till now. We had high expectations because this day in may was awesome.
