Poor check in services
Check in was poor. We were told to come back after 3pm as we were early. When we returned 15 mins early, our room was given away to someone else. We had to wait until 4:30 to check in.

Jeff

Travelled with family and small children
Took me over an hour to check in because of their system, not processing my credit card and was given a room until it was taken care of and when I came back for the fourth time, the man behind the counter that just came to work had extremely bad attitude and told me to get off the property and he was going to call the cops, meanwhile, all of our stuff was in the room, and I told him that and he was disgusted that the other woman,that was nice enough to give us Cards to get in the room, would do that. Then while I was waiting in the car for him to figure something out, he ran upstairs and locked the room so that we couldn’t get our stuff out. The biggest dumpster fire I have ever been through checking into a hotel.

"I've come to get drunk on the beach."
This property is a typical beach area hotel. The room reeked of cleaning products which is better than the alternative. Absolutely no-frills room. A very loud Tiki bar in front. The lobby is dire. This feels like a "I've come to get drunk at the beach" hotel.
