We loved the retro feel. The room was very clean and comfortable. The pool was clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the tiki bar, although the drinks are a bit pricy (we're from the Midwest, so you can maybe take that with a grain of salt). Every staff person we encountered was friendly, polite, and accomodating.

Older property that has been upgraded. Very clean, super friendly staff, used text to communicate (which was helpful) on road and very responsive. Value for the money.

It was old and smelled that way. There was a spot of blood on the bed cover. No clock in the room. Too much more to mention. It was awful 😞

This was an affordable stay convenient to the beach, downtown, and shopping. We loved the heated outdoor pool. The beds were really comfortable. Even though it’s close to the airport there was little to no noise from planes. The bar next door seemed to be a big hit for lots of people.

Disliked: Room comfort

Average all around

We didn't spend much time there. Everything was just average EXCEPT the bed. It was the most uncomfortable hotel bed I have ever slept in and given that we basically get a hotel just to sleep, that part is pretty important.

The tiki bar on site was nice, but that was it. The rooms were musty, the sheets were dingy and old, the renovation was not done very well. You could see light around the door and there were bugs flying around in the room. The shower was disgusting and had some sort of slime on the floor We ended up not staying because I couldn't breathe due to it being so musty. They told us we would get a refund for the second night. It's 3 weeks later and still no refund. We've called, emailed - everything they asked us to do. This is a horrible place.

Really nice place. A bit outdated, but they keep everything clean and neat. Beautiful pool and grounds surrounding it. The road it’s on has heavy traffic so it can be tough to get in and out of the parking area.
