I could see daylight around the door frame. People fighting in next room were very loud and easily heard. As soon as the door opens you are in the bathroom. The bed was comfortable. The room was well worn but clean.

Everything was great, the rooms are a little old and have a strong smell of cleaning products, but you get used to it. Everyone there was very nice, I slept well and had the windows open for fresh air.

This property is a throwback reminding me of traveling on road trips with my family in the 60’s-80’s. That is not a bad thing! It had all the amenities we needed while visiting family in the area. WiFi and TV was reliable, lovely pool and hot tub, on site restaurant had great breakfast fare. There is no free breakfast as with the big name hotel chains. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. We arrived on our cross country flight two hours before check-in but were able to get our room early. Our room was cleaned daily and left spotless. There is a $15/day parking fee if you need to park which was a little unexpected. All in all we felt safe and comfortable throughout our stay. Our only complaint would be its location. Although it is on Hotel Circle that is exactly what it is. A access road filled with hotels which made it necessary for us to drive for anything we needed as far as meals or minor purchases.

We’ve noticed there isn’t a high turnover on staffing. So our experience is always the same wonderful experience and we can always expect staff to be friendly every time we visit.

Great little hotel with a beach vibe. Older gentleman at check in was wonderful and seemed to be able to juggle all of the guests seamlessly. Close to shopping and restaurants. Park in front of room. Good hot water and comfortable bed. Most importantly, when I had to leave at 4am for the airport there was a security guard onsite paying attention to who was coming and going. Safety is obviously a priority here! Will stay again.

Worth it, but better double check the room
The hotel is nice, clean and comfortable, my first time was great, the room was above the lobby, this last time it was on the other side of the pool the rooms appear to be older and lots of noise coming from either plumbing or a/c unit. Oh and the bathroom was super tiny.
