Excellent accommodations at a great price. Very friendly staff. Rooms are spacious and modern. Bed is very comfortable and the view is super. Heated pool and hot tub with plenty of lounges. If available opt for the kitchen units at a very modest upcharge from the non kitchen units. Please note that most of the negative comments are from people who did not realize the non oceanfront rooms are across the street in an older building even though that is clearly noted on both Expedia and the hotel’s website. The difference in price is not great so always book oceanfront and you will be much happier. I would note that the change in ownership and new staff has caused some confusion with front desk staff but be patient. They are honest and accommodating if a bit uncertain at times.

Love this hotel!
My husband and I stayed two nights and selected a gulf view room with a balcony. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. This hotel exceeded our expectations and the price was quite reasonable. We walked to Winn Dixie and to restaurants. Our only disappointment is that they do not recycle. We would stay here again.

The fact the property is on the beach is awesome. However, the room is run down. Needs major upgrade. The bathroom is so small ,toliet is low and falling apart, beds and bedding are torn and stained. Partner got a rash from what ever detergent they use to clean the sheets. Not meant for families with small children. Not worth the price paid. This review is for the rooms across from the main building.
