The staff was amazing from checking in to check out. Everyone was friendly, and professional. The property was very clean and the breakfast was good. If there’s anything negative to say, I would say the pool kind of being a little cleaner, but that was not the fault of the staff. It was a great day and I would definitely come back.

This place was very clean, the beds were comfy and the staff were friendly and respectful. The included breakfast was limited but enough to get the day started. Would definitely return. The reason for my 4 stars was the elevator was hot and a little older and the dryers were not working to dry the beach towels.

Great weekend

The staff worked well as a team with friendliness and courtesy. The food was OK. Fruit was on one table - difficult accessibility. No water in the breakfast area. Updated facilities and decor. Comfortable stay.

Driving up to the hotel, I was worried we made the wrong choice and that it was going to be a sketchy place. However, inside it was newly renovated so it was much better. I had a good experience and the staff was kind and helpful. Rooms have been redone so the inside and outside feel like two different hotels.

Bed Bugs

My husband got eaten up by bed bugs while we stayed there, but the hotel claims they don't gave bed bugs and won't do anything about it. We even had an inspector come to our house to make sure none came home with us. Stay at your own risk.
This was taken at the doctor's office where he determined they were bed bug bites.
