10/10 Exceptional

I had a wonderful stay! The staff were incredibly friendly, the hotel was spotless, and the breakfast was amazing. I definitely plan to return. My only minor issue was that housekeeping inquired about our checkout progress with 40 minutes left. We were already packing and preparing to leave, but it did make us feel a little rushed at the end.

Anniversary Beach Getaway

Front desk staff was very nice, got a free upgrade & welcome gift since it was our Anniversary. Very convenient location, could see the beach from our balcony. Love the jetted big bathtub and comfy bed. We have stayed here 4 or 5 times & it's a favorite :)

Mold/mildew scent in rooms and stains on curtains and opening in the ceiling. Staff was friendly but place was a dump.

Terrific, Comfortable Stay!

The bed was truly comfortable! The television provided news, movies, and a variety of shows. We used the laundry facilities; they were outstanding. Breakfast was delicious and the service was helpful.

nice location ... parking spots are TIGHT
Victor, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel was nice and in a good area for getting to beach, marina, restaurants and bars. We were here for a wedding which was about 7 mins drive away. Hotel breakfast had good selection, would be nice to have proper cutlery, plates etc rather than plastic & paper. Suite was large and had loads of space. Only negative would be the room was getting dated and the drapes were ripped. The pool is very small with only one sunbed and some chairs. Other than that the staff were very nice and helpful.

Comfortable enough

It was within walking distance to Lantern Park : beach & Marina . Was a little noisy on the highway But that was due to it being Labor Day weekend I did enjoy my walks in the mornings. Breakfast was not my favorite Only because I enjoy over easy eggs , but had cereal coffee juice water and bagels.

The bed was comfortable and loved the jetted hot tub in the room. Great location!! Very clean. Shower was luke water. Wished the room was cleaned at least one more time during the 4 night stay.
