Very beachy vibe with the colorful tiles outside and along the solid stairwell. The grassy area in the room’s “backyard” had a lovely homey feel for my kids and two pet dogs. The breakfast options here were some of the best we have had : fresh pancake maker, crispy bacon,and indivudually wrapped loaf bread and oatmeal. I would stay here again.

Stayed at the far back of the property and it was nice and quiet. It’s not right by the pool which makes for a quieter space. First floor had nice patio. Beds comfy, room clean, nice variety for breakfast with hot food including eggs, bacon, and pancakes.

I requested a room on the first floor due to my mobility issues and there being no elevator on the property. Made the request before the reservation, called the morning of and when we dropped off our car before check in. We have three kids and we selected this hotel because it had a heated pool. The pool was not heated and very cold. The alarm clock went off blarring at midnight. The front staff was not very accommodating, they placed us on the second floor but I had to walk up and down a little hill to get to the pool. Overall not a great experience. The front desk was not helpful.

The gal that checked me in was a bit off putting, pretty full of herself, which was not a great start to our stay. The room and grounds were nice however, my room said a pool view. But our pool and Jacuzzi were closed, we had to walk across the property if we wanted to use a pool/Jacuzzi which was not good.

Hotel staff were very friendly! Liked that breakfast, parking, wifi were included. This is an older property, but it was clean. The problem is that the walls between rooms are so thin you can hear every single conversation or noise from the room next to you. Housekeeping made the beds everyday, but they did not do any basic cleaning like wipe down the bathroom, if that is important to you.
