Won't stay here again.

We arrived around 6 and asked for extra pillows. We were told that they didnt have access to the pillows when cleaning crew was gone so we eould get them in the morning. Never got them. Asked again when we got back to the hotel after a day out and still nothing. We had to flag down a cleaning crew member and ask him. He brought them finally. You pay $20 a day for parking but theres no reason for it. I've never seen paid parking at a hotel with adequate onsite parking. Only for a busy downtown hotel or parking garage situation. The water pressure was the worst I've ever seen at a hotel. You spend 30 extra minutes just to try and rinse soap off your body. My camper shower has better pressure. I didn't like the fact there was a smoking pit outside of our room. It should be off to the side of the parking lot away from rooms. Room was clean and hotel is in a good location so it's a shame everything else ruins it.

Convenient location

Southern Oaks was comfortable and clean.Pool was refreshing. Breakfast wasnt that good. The same scrambeld eggs and sausage every morning. One big plus was the free shuttle service that took you to town or the beach which was convenient and saved the trouble of finding parking

On vacation

The room was nice, clean and surprisingly quiet considering most motels have some noise. No door slamming or room noises. The only problem with the room was the toilet. It must be the shortest one made. For someone like me with age and knee problems it it harder to stand up. They weren't considering that issue when buying the cheapest toilets .

Some changes to property may surprise some

Spent a few nights returning from South Carolina, found that the floors were dirty after walking, barefoot and stepping on a towel the towel turned black. Also the shower and tub area had hairs on the wall and on the deck.
After walking barefoot in the floor and onto the shower mat, this is what you get. Totally unacceptable.

Absolutely beautiful area and property. Breakfast was great to have each morning. The only thing I we didn’t care for was getting charged each day to just park our vehicle there.
