    Nice place with hotel on beach and, across the street , motel type accommodation. We stayed across from the beach in spacious clean rooms with kitchen, microwave, stove etc. Seems the restaurant is not open but got a coupon for a couple of sister restaurants just down the street. We walked to a local bar right next door and had a nice time with locals. Would definitely stay again and recommend if you are in the area.

    We didn't get to use our Balcony at all due to the people beside us smoking weed the whole entire time.. Even though they're signs inside of the room stating it's not allowed there, but it went on the hotel we was there.The pictures we did get take off the balcony was the morning before they checked in.

    We loved the view of the beach and ocean. .. The hot tub was amazing..

    The lady that checked us in could have been a bit more hospitable considering it’s a vacation spot but that didn’t ruin our vacation or the hotel. We still had a great time and enjoyed the hotel

    Location was directly on the beach which was what we were looking for. And the view was spectacular from our suite. I loved that I was able to relax on the balcony and enjoy the ocean view and consume the the sounds and wind from the waters.

    I was very disappointed that I booked thru Booking.com and thought I was getting an accurate price only to be charged an extra $50 because we used your service. We will not use booking.com again. This is the second time this has happened to us.

    Parking is Very limited if you stay in the beachfront side there are only a few Parking spots. We had to unload our luggage (we were allowed to park in the front) come back down and park the  car across the street. Pillows where flat. You have to pay for umbrellas and chairs. Room service never came to the room however we saw them everyday we came in and out sitting and/or walking in front of the hotel.

    Location was right by the beach. Room was beach view they also had a hotel across the street. Room was clean. Hotel was quiet.

    My debit card was accidentally overcharged by almost $900. The manager tried giving me credit for it but it may take 2-3 days before it gives me the credit back!

    The rooms need to be updated, but very doable. The NO SMOKING on the property NEEDS to be enforced. My morning coffee on the balcony was short lived by smokers on the neighboring balcony.

    We liked that the hotel was on the beachfront. We had a balcony room on a high floor overlooking the beach and a full kitchen.

    The room had a very distinct smell [illegal drug commonly smoked] that hit you the moment you walked in the door. I feel the rooms should be thoroughly cleaned and fumigated when it is apparent a previous guest broke that condition.

    Proximity to beach and attractions

    I liked everything

    I liked everything, this hotel is on its way to being one of the best affordable beachfront hotels. Great location nice room set up the kitchen was fully stocked with what we needed to make are meals. Having an indoor and outdoor pool is a plus. The beach access, nearby Winn Dixie, and Waffle House up the street made it easy for us to get around. Once they open up the cafe in the lobby that’s going to be another point that makes this hotel exceptional.

    Booked with Booking, com and when I got to the hotel they added resort fees that were not mentioned beforehand. Charged an extra $100. When booking the room we thought we were booking a room on the beach, but we ended up being across the road and had to cross a very busy street to go to the beach. Parking was terrible! Not enough parking for the customers. Rooms were old and outdated, not very clean.

    Location was great. Staff was friendly enough.
