Its fine. We went here instead of the holiday inn Resort. The resort seems nicer, although the reviews dont reflect it

The hotel is in a safe area, which we really appreciated. The room was spacious, clean, and the A/C worked well. The bed was comfortable and the front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The beach was also within walking distance, which made things really convenient.
The breakfast selection was good, but it would be nice to have more options for guests who don’t eat pork or beef—offering chicken sausage instead would be a great improvement.
The only issue we experienced was with the electric vehicle charging stations. There are three chargers, but some guests left their cars plugged in all night and even during the day, making it hard for others to use them. It would be helpful if management monitored the charging and notified guests when their vehicle is fully charged so others get a turn.
Overall, it was a nice stay with just a few areas that could be improved.

The location is in a quiet area. The staff is welcoming and helpful. The hotel is older and In need of some deep cleaning. Unfortunately, next time I will skip this hotel.

Availability of award nights is laughable.
It seems that the hotel franchise regional sales person blocks out certain dates, despite having a ton of room rates available and cheap.
Probably for the best. Not interested in any issues.

We stayed from the evening of Thanksgiving on the 27th to the morning of the 28th. The accommodation itself was acceptable—clean and generally comfortable—though an extra blanket would have been appreciated.
The main issue, however, was the behaviour of the staff member at reception. I witnessed this individual speaking rudely to a colleague and showing a complete lack of compassion toward guests. They began clearing away breakfast items while multiple families were still eating, creating an unwelcoming atmosphere. Worse still, a small family arrived just five minutes before breakfast hours ended and were refused entry, despite having young children in tow.
The breakfast setup itself was disappointing: the hours were unnecessarily early (5:30–8:30 AM), the selection was limited, and the yogurt machine was out of order.
Overall, the poor attitude of the staff member overshadowed what could have been a straightforward, pleasant stay.
