We understand the hotel is being renovated but the doors to the hallway stairs need regular washing and/or paint. The amount of fingerprints on those doors and with one elevator being broken down it caused us to use the stairs which offset many of the improvements you have done with the hotel. Also our room, 221 did not have the view that was portrayed when we booked our room and it was a bit false advertising. Also the rabbits on the grounds are cute but i would certainly not walk barefoot or use the grassy areas due the rabbit poop.

Horrible property shocked that they are a Marriott owned hotel! They won’t tell you that they took one night on my credit card without telling me. I thought I had fraud on my credit card. Staff was rude and room smells.

Great Weekend Stay

The hotel was in the perfect location and beach access is right out the back door. Great pool and pool bar. No microwave but staff accommodated us by heating up our daughter’s food in the staff lounge. That was so nice. The restaurant is fantastic and the food was delicious.
