Parking charge seems abusive but otherwise we stay here often
-
Nice older hotel. Pool area, hot tub, pool bar,and landscaping are excellent especially for children. Room average but needs a mini fridge and microwave.

The picture on Expedia or the hotels personal website DO NOT match reality with this property. The rooms were dirty and smelled musty. The outside of the Hotel once you physically saw it showed that it had been around a long time and looked worn. Our first room the A/C, Safe, and refrigerator did not work and we had to be moved to another room. During that process the Attendant told me that some of the A/C units only had one fan that was working so it may seem like the A/C is out of service. In the room where the A/C was working, the filter was visibly dirty. The rooms are small and with 2 double beds not queen beds. Overall, very disappointed with this property. The shining star is the pool. That was clean and well maintained. And the grounds were clean and well maintained.

Parking $24 with no free parking anywhere close. No chairs or tables on the property outside of the gated swimming area where no outside food is allowed. Only 1 chair in the room with nowhere to eat other than in bed. No frig. No microwave. Forced to eat in overpriced bland restaurant.

We really liked everything about the pool & the staff was very helpful. We will stay there again.

Our hotel room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The hotel itself is a little dated but it was very clean and that is the most important thing. The pool area was really nice and there was plenty of seating even when the pool got a little busy. The area that the hotel was in was pretty decent and we felt very safe. The only complaint that I have is that you have to pay a nightly parking fee even though you are a guest at the hotel. Other than that, we would stay at this hotel again!

Great place with a nice pool area, the pool is large, has a big jacuzzi and access to a bar within 20 steps. Downside is $24 parking fee that is not included in hotel price shown.

Property has an old school appeal. Furnishings were classic mixed with some modern touches. Wireless charging on the clock radio, USB ports everywhere and slideout on the end table. Water pressure was good. The tv was very dated and the vhold wasn't doing good. Request for service resulted in the maintenance person telling my wife, " it's not HD tv, Ma'am". The beautiful fabulous pool reaches 10ft deep. Unfortunately, the pool opens late and closes at 10pm. Watch for and ask for your invoice before you leave.

Great place to stay and about 10-15 minutes from everything. Pool was absolutely amazing and a fun atmosphere. There were some ants crawling from our drain but they took care of it once we called.
-
Clean , convenient location . Pool was big plenty of space for everyone always able to get a pool side chair. Staff was friendly alway greeted with a smile . Food was good and so convenient to be able to eat on site before starting our day. We will definitely be back soon.

Small cons: feel $24 a night for parking is a bit much. Landscaping around lot could be upkept a little better. I paid for premium room thinking it was close to pool. Apparently premium just means balcony. Our balcony had a view of all the laundry/linens that were in big carts waiting to be washed. For us, the good outweighed the cons and we would def book again.

The hotel was great! We were 8 people, took two rooms and turns out we got connecting rooms which was pretty nice. The pools were very clean and they close at 10pm which is great since the kids loved going night swimming! The hotel rooms were good, a bit outdated but nonetheless good. For $97 a night (for each room), we got what we expected and what we needed. We wanted to add another night but they wanted $197 per room, which for us wasn’t worth it. The parking was $24 for each night which was little annoying. The hotel didn’t offer breakfast, they only had a restaurant. The hotel is located at a great spot not too far from the beach, a 10 minute drive to the bay, Sea World and a lot of other cool places! We were a bit skeptical after reading the reviews on Google but were very surprised when we had a very pleasant stay. We will definitely be coming back!!

First room smelt musty & moldy. They moved us to a different part of the hotel. Staff was great. Building isn’t anything to rave about.
