Hotel was okay, problem is the hidden fees when you get there! Plan on an additional 150-200 bucks, also no breakfast! Rooms a bit outdated and a bit moldy smelling! Pros are nice pool, beach access, close to everything like pier park. Would I stay again yes but tell people on a budget about fees during booking!

I walked in to my Room a saw multiple hornets flying and bug on top of the sealing, and when i went to the office to tell the manager that my kid is allergic to bees, honest esc.his response was, I CAN'T DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. With the only attitude. And storm into his office.

The room was clean. Unable to reach front desk by phone for more towels. There were less than desirable individuals hanging out on the stairs, the parking lots, hallways smoking pot. There was never a time we walked to our room it didn't smell like weed.
