While the main floor, elevator area, and bathrooms have been updated, this property needs a renovation. The carpeting in our room was old, stained, had cigarette burns, smelled, and should've been replaced years ago with laminate. The lighting was terrible, the control knob on the refrigerator was broken, and there was a light switch on the wall that did nothing. The room layout was awkward and clothing space was minimal. The furnishings were old and need to be replaced in addition to the coil-spring mattress. The room felt more like a college door room rather than a room at a seaside inn. The only saving grace is the bathroom. It had recently been renovated and was nicely done. However, there was only one towel rack. A double towel rack would've been a nice touch. The body wash, shampoo, and conditioner were of excellent quality but their placement on the side wall instead of the rear wall of the shower, compromised space. Lastly, a second mirror somewhere in the room would've been nice since bathroom space is tight.
The staff were friendly and attentive but we did have a few hiccups with housekeeping.
The free breakfast with scrambled eggs and a changing mix of bacon, sausage, grits, potatoes, waffles, french toast sticks, biscuits & gravy, and even a burrito bar, was superb.
Although the location can't be beat and there are some nice touches here and there, I will not be returning to this property. There are just too many negatives that outweigh the postives.
