Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is such a fun property to stay at. The pool is huge and salt water. The rooms are decorated midcentury modern which is pretty cool. We had a balcony on second floor which was great to sit outside on for a breeze. Air conditioner worked well. We loved the tiki bar next door, and the food truck across the street will blow your mind. The rooms were clean, but outside could definitely use a cleaning. But dont let that worry you. We bought a few souvenirs the night we checked in.. and by the next morning on wednesday i wished i had more.. but they dont let the front desk do any sales.. just the manager can. But the manager decided to not come in that weekday so thats kind of bummed us out. We could have waited till the bar opened at 12, but with a 11am checkout thats not really an option.

The Tiki Bar is everything! The bartender and the guests in the bar sang happy birthday to me and the drinks were awesome! I didn't like that I was originally assigned a room on the second floor. This property is motel style--No Elevators! The front desk staff changed me to a first floor accommodation without issue. All the staff were very welcoming.

Stayed here multiple times, one of my favorite places to stay in the area. There were a couple issues in the room I had. The deadbolt did not lock and did not feel safe, woke up after my first night to the door ajar. There were stains on the towels and shower curtain. I notified the front desk when I checked out and was told a manager would contact me and have yet to hear from someone.

Mini getaway

The bed was too soft and low for me. The rest of the hotel was great. Service and house keeping were on top of everything. The pool was gorgeous and spacious.
