Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel had a great view of the gulf, and the room, although spacious and comfortable, lacked cleanliness in some areas like the bathroom. It was conveniently located but could get noisy until late in the night. The dining experience was good but had some issues with the buffet seating arrangements. The service was commendable, going above and beyond to help, despite a few minor incidents.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although not as clean as expected with a heavy and broken bathroom door, were still very comfortable, basic, and equipped with convenient amenities like a full-size refrigerator, microwave, and Kurig coffee maker. However, the highlight was definitely the availability of a dry sauna and steam room on-site.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, right by the beach and close to all the restaurants. The rooms, although a bit outdated, were surprisingly spacious and comfortable. The service was top-notch, with the staff always going above and beyond to assist. The dining options were decent, but could use some improvement. Overall, a great value for the money with wonderful amenities and a beautiful view.
