The hotel itself really lacked on the room service & cleaning of our room. I’m used to my room being cleaned a certain number of times during a long stay (old towels being taken, trash being removed, beds being made) & that didn’t happen organically. Also, for the hotel to charge 22 dollars a night to park without it even being valet or a garage or even covered for that matter was a little ridiculous. The location was pretty but could’ve definitely got a hotel actually on a walkable beach for a comparable price.

Great location and fun games to play
A wonderful location with basically a private beach in front (walk across road) and lots of fun things nearby (Legoland, museums, and The Flower Fields). Jacuzzi was a great temperature which is the main reason my wife picks a hotel. Uniquely they have fun games available for free to play (ping pong, corn hole, darts, etc.). Service was top notch and friendly. I loved their buffet breakfast though my wife was disappointed in their continental breakfast not having the berries and greek yogurt as advertised (only Yoplait and Mellons).

The beds were hard. There was no working lock on the bathroom door. We ate at the Coast restaurant and the salmon was so bad we got sick. The pizza and kids’ food were good. Their bar made amazing cocktails. The staff made good suggestions on where we should go. My poor rating for this hotel is because for the price we paid (equivalent to Shutters on the Beach), we were expecting a certain level of comfort (bed and sheets) and dining experience. We opted not to eat their breakfast buffet as dinner the night before was not great food quality.

Everything was nice but the bathroom smelled like sewage. I found out later that there was a sewage plant near by.
