Distance away from Walmart and spring breakers was perfect as it gave us the more laid back vibe. Close to Pier Park which was very convenient.

Pros- location. Property right on the beach. The staff was helpful and friendly. Check in and out was smooth. Con- location is old and needs some updating. The sink in our room did not function properly and a ceiling tile was ajar. The bedding was discolored and there was a large bag of chips left in one of the drawers. The walls are very thin and could hear outside of the room. We only stayed one night and booked last minute. I’m indifferent whether I’d stay again or not. I think with some major updates, this location would be a perfect location for families!!!

The actual property and location is absolutely beautiful. The cleanliness of the room was horrible. There was hair on the pillow cases and in the shower, very noticeable. The room looked like it had not been cleaned in a very long time. My toilet did not, had to request a total of three times for it to be fixed properly.

I was disappointed that the room charge by Expedia, which included all taxes and fees, was not the full cost. When we asked to stay an additional two days at the same rate, the hotel actually charged us double the rate we paid on the first day.

Stay was ok

Hotel was fine, older but appeared to be “updated”. Mattresses were springy and not all that comfortable. We asked for more towels on day 3 and they didn’t have any available. Most of the staff was friendly. We had to park in their lot across the street most of the time. We noticed when we got home that someone tried to pry into our car door and now has chipped and scratched paint. No cameras and lot is dark.

Overall a good place to stay. We were there for a short time. The pool area across the street could use some cleaning up and maintenance, landscaping etc. but overall the room was clean, service was fine. A lot within walking distance.

double reservation glitch, MEANS double CC charges. It will take me months to fight the Extra charges. Text messages from CC company Charges BEFORE im even checked in. Lady at desk did not see the double reservation? Then upon returning home, the second reservation disappears from THEIR computer? just not right. Paid for TWO rooms due to this on first night.
