Our stay was nice. Great location to the activities we wanted to participate in. The room was warmer than we’d like and housekeeping wasn’t great. I would choose to stay again, though. The overall experience was good.

Nice stay. The ac was super cold, the room was clean, no excessively loud noises considering we were there for a holiday weekend. The breakfast was decent- kind of a miss for me, but thats only because I'm a vegan and there werent many options for my dietary restrictions. I wouldve liked to have seen some fresh fruit. Overall, it was a nice stay close enough to the beach, but far enough away to not be too noisy

I called ahead of time and asked for a conference room area and was prepared to pay however, I was told I could use the meeting space without an additional charge since it would be for just 2 people - upon arrival, the desk clerk stated I could use the room but the next morning a different front desk clerk would not allow me to use the room stating it was "the lead sales ladies room" (which was not in use the entire time I was there) and when I asked if they had another space or could I continue to use my room she threatened to charge me for another day. All this to include, new furniture arriving for the (what seem to be) entire hotel. I would not even complain about the noise and inconvience but with the limited walkways and busting up boxes outside my door all evening but now I'm pretty upset about that also. Many other hotel options around and I will use a differnet one next time.
