This place is nice...not great but for a beach front property it's nice. We stayed on the beach side, reviews are not very good for the property across the street. Our room was nice, clean to the most part. Kitchen and bathroom were very clean, carpet was clean. However, the balcony was sticky so doesn't appear they clean that often, and we did have a little sand in our bed. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and understand that the fine, white sand on the Gulf is really hard to completely get out of sheets. The alternative is that they didn't change the sheets from the last guest which would be really awful. The grounds on the property are well maintained. We stayed on the beach the whole time so didn't use the pool, hot tub or visit the tiki bar, but all of it looked in very nice shape and clean. The beach in fron th of the property is awesome and there is a beach chair service right in front...not associated with the hotel. Ask about any discounts they may have, we paid $40/day for two chairs and an umbrella. If you're local probably best to bring your own, espeiclaly since they put them up at 5:00pm...but they were out there very early, about 7:00am. Not impressed with the staff, pretty blah with zero smiles amongst them. Never was asked if we enjoyed our stay when we checked out and they really couldn't care less when we told them that on our 2nd day housekeeping took our used towels and trash (which didn't need it) and replaced neither. Overall, decent.

We had a balcony over looking the gulf. It was a corner room so there was an extra window which was nice. Pool was nice and clean and they have a tiki bar open 10:30-7:00. There’s also Mguires right across the street. You do have to park across the street but not really a big deal. Overall good stay

The doors to the rooms are on the outside of the hotel and open outwards with just a single lock. The doors and frames are very rusty. The bathtub would not drain when the shower was running. The air conditioner kept shutting off. I went to the front desk and said I wanted a refund. The manager said no and he would at least have someone to come and look at the air conditioner. I stayed that night but cancelled my reservation for the following night. When I woke up the next morning the air conditioning was still showing 77 degrees in the room.

The room and entire building was dirty. Elevator didn’t work at all the entire trip the other was down when we arrived, we were on the 6th floor. We were charged a daily “resort” fee. The only thing we got for that was pool towels. No beach chairs as shown in advertisements, those were an extra charge. The staff seemed put out if they were asked any questions, not at all friendly. Would not recommend. It is cheap but you don’t get much.
