The beach was beautiful and the staff was very nice at the front desk. The hotel is rundown, outdated and dirty. There was black mold in the bathroom and the boxspring on the bed were exposed and dirty. It was ok for a quick overnight stay.

We had a wonderful layed back stay. Loved the free coffee in the lobby and free drinkable water. Loved the complimentary pool towels. Loved the fact that the pools were open 24/7. The beach was wonderful. We walked to the Pier Park every day for dining and entertainment. Grocery store was just across the street, and a few restaurants. There was also a bus stop directly at hotel entrance (we didnt rent a car but could get anywhere using the bus). The hotel is onky 25 minutes from the airport. We also enjoyed the bonfires on the beach. Highly recommend ocean front rooms.
