The pool was great, clean and kid friendly. I love how they had a kids menu for breakfast. Great breakfast, I had the pancake with strawberries bomb and great service 🙂

Was impressed when we walked into the lobby. But was a bit disappointed as we walked into our room. Not up to par with Hilton Hotels. Old beat up furniture, carpet was old and tracked. Felt dirty. Had a plumbing issue in the shower but engineering was right on it and had it fixed asap. For the price paid whether in dollars or points , it seemed pricy for the conditions. Heard update to take place next year. Still it was a nice hotel. Comfortable and staff very friendly.

The hotel is located across the street from the beach with views of the ocean from select rooms. The customer service we received from the front desk was outstanding with a quick check in. We were off to our room in no time so we could enjoy some relaxation prior to attending an on-site family wedding. The room was nicely appointed with a comfortable bed and warm lighting. One small criticism is the furniture in the hallway (near the pool) needs the cracked upholstery to be replaced . Checkout was a breeze with electronic billing for incidentals. A big thank you to the staff for making our stay hassle-free. Would stay again.

The facility was clean and well appointed. The staff was great and helpful with suggestions for places to eat and making arrangements for my husband and I to go whale watching with Oceanside Adventures. We had a great time and will definitely return in the future.

The thing that made this stay great was the Valet team. They were so thoughtful. Remembered our names where we were going, asked about our days. If the rest ic the staff erred as attentive as Jared, Bobby and Kevin this place would be amazing.
