The hotel was clean, the room was nice. The only issue was with the location of the AC, but it was not that big of an issue for us, besides when getting ready in the bathroom and getting blasted with cold air.

The hotel rooms were clean, tidy and maintained every day by the staff. All staff were kind, friendly, and helpful. The property grounds had quite a lot of trash around the back portions near the water, but I anticipate that would be difficult to maintain with such a large property. The view from the bay view room way great and it was a very family-friendly environment! We loved the 'dive-in' movies every evening for the kids!
