One of our queen beds broke as soon as ine of our kids laid on it. When we tried to move it the whole bed came apart. The hotel Moved us to a new room but the room had a bad smell. I told the front office and they gave me a spray bottle to spray in the room myself. No apologies were given just faces made when we told them Of our ordeal. There was smell of marijuana around the property and an around the pool area where kids and other kids were swimming.

Great place to stay with amazing staff!
Staff is super friendly & even gave us a key card to use the laundry room after checkout. This was much appreciated as our wet towels from the beach would've made our ride home pretty smelly. THANK YOU so much for making sure our drive back home wasn't musty. 😜 The room, breakfast, & pool were amazing! Staff went above & beyond and were extremely courteous!

Half acceptable
Room was comfortable and what we needed for a quick one night stay. The room however was not ready for us when we arrived. We had a room for 6 people. Only 4 sets of towels were in the room and there was no shower curtain to take a shower.
