Wonderful Staff

Outstanding guest service! Every person on staff that we encountered was friendly and positive. Very refreshing for someone that works in the hospitality industry and doesn’t always receive such a welcoming spirit. Room was just what we needed fir our 1 night stay.

Okay stay

The good: friendly staff, comfortable beds, great breakfast. The not so good: there was mold in the shower; the wall was crumbling in the bedroom along the floor; I requested for our room to be swept and it was not, nor was there a broom I could borrow.

A change of towels is necessary on a beach vacation. It is unclear why we didn’t receive towels on our second day after we asked the front desk for them.
