Although the staff were accommodating in upgrading our room to the main building, the property needs maintenance, the main lobby, elevators and hallways need to be cleaned. The carpet in the rooms need to be replaced and the rooms need to be cleaned better. I found a dirty cup and spoon under one of the beds, what looked like someone’s hair or a really big dust bunny behind the TV in the living room, also my husband saw a huge roach in the bathroom, thankfully it was on the morning we were checking out.

Horrible condition of the room. Everything was falling apart. The kitchen was horrible with dead flies. The toaster was missing buttons. The description on Expedia for this hotel are not all true. We had to pay additional for beach chairs. HORRIBLE Place, I wish I can get my money back

It was convenient to Local Shops & Restaurants, it was well Landscaped. The Mgt. could do a better job of keeping coffee in the rooms AND anything purchased in the lobby was too expensive, I paid $5.oo for one beer, and Restroom facilities near the Pool could be better & more convenient than being in the Lobby.

Beds were uncomfortable and the room left something to be desired. Also didn't realize I would be staying across from the part of the hotel that was actually on the beach, I just thought that my view was going to be of across the street. I don't know if I was mislead or if I just misread the description.
