Was close to the beach. Only thing I didn’t like was that there was a door inside my room that I guess was connected to the other room. Since it was a girl trip made me a feel a bit unsafe. Never stayed in a room where there was a door inside.

Wyndham not a Wyn
Extremely shopworn and in a sketchy area. Said we could park free for our cruise…got there and had changed their policy. Panicked since night before our cruise and all lots were full! They did allow us to go ahead and park for $10 a night which was no big deal but we weren’t the only party they didn’t tell about their new policy. Will never stay there again

It was very old and dinghy inside. Blanket, sheets, and cover were old looking. The cleaning product they used had a very strong smell that it gave me a headache. Their continental breakfast was terrible. The room was too expensive for what we got.
