Nice non-beach front hotel

We stayed here for a long weekend away. There were a good handful of restaurants and convenience stores close by. The beach was a few blocks away, as you had to walk across the main road and walk to Cedarwood to get to the public walk-way. My only complaints were that room service had a fee, and that there was nothing to clean the gym equipment with. I’ve never been to a hotel in which room service was only provided if you paid for it, as most hotels I’ve stayed in, had it included. You also had to pay $10/day to park the car in the lot. The breakfast bar from 7-10 was nice. I liked how there was tea, coffee, and cookies offered throughout the day in the front of the hotel. Overall, I would come back if I were ever in the area again.

Elevator broken during trip and not an amazing breakfast, but was very very good especially for the affordable price. The room was larger than expected, the free golf was a nice plus too, and within walking distance of the beach. Would definitely return if I am in the area again.

The room was fine. However housekeeping was only available for an additional charge of $25 a day which was not specified on the hotel website. Items which were missing from our room (shampoo) could not be delivered, we had to go to the desk to fetch them. The fitness room consisted of one treadmill, one bike, and a small selection of dumbbells without a bench to use them. The area gym which the website states that hotel guests receive a discount apparently does not exist. The breakfast used a lot of disposables. The hotel is a walkable distance from the beach and it was nice to have a voucher for beach chairs and an umbrella.

The rooms were very large with a sofa and ottoman. There was also a table and chairs. We really liked a separate compartment with a fridge, microwave, kuerig and sink. We used the gym and the outdoor pool which were nice. The hotel is a great location and we walked to most of our dining options and miniature golf. The staff was wonderful and I would highly recommended staying at this hotel.
