Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very disappointed. I stayed for 4 days and during my stay my room never got cleaned. The trash was literally piling up in my room. The hotel is across the street from the beach, so of course some sand gets in the hotel. Absolutely unacceptable! I had to sleep in my bed with sand because I had no way to even sweep the floor. When I checked in, the girl was RUDE. This would have been great if house keeping did their job. I will not stay here again. Also, this is supposed to be a non smoking property but several people hanging out smoking.

Not a lot of parking. There weren’t extra locks on the doors. But it is right on the seawall. Pool looked tiny. We didn’t use it.
