The hotel smells when you first walk in! It’s the first thing you notice. We were informed the restaurant would be closed due to staffing issues. We were not able to get a main floor room and had to take the stairs. When we got to our room you could tell they were trying to cover up the smell but after a few minutes it wears off! The whole hotel needs a good clean up and new carpet throughout. They have a beautiful setting but I don’t think I would go back.

I suspect this place was very short staffed. Waited an hour for my room to be available. Waited ten minutes to be acknowledged by anyone associated with the restaurant. I left and found another place to eat.

Both dad has had his stain sheets, The carpet was also stained in numerous places… The bathtub inside the room was broken, I tempted to wash down on occasions before my daughter at the light to go home because she could not take the amount of issues had occurre! Not only did a book and specified on the app, but also in person five hours before the room is ready that I was handicapped disabled took about five hours to get the room ready, stuck on the second floor, Then they stuck me the disabled person on the second floor with no elevator. It took six trips three of them up and then we left three of them down with our stuff and our service dog , I bought an hour or two total in between the two. And by 7:30 to 8:30 PM, she a six-year-old little girl asked her father to take her home instead of staying on this beautiful vacation and the amount of pain I had to endure and suffer. I need a manager. I’ve already asked the app and whatever service they have to reach out to me ASAP. Leave a voicemail since I am disabled. I have a very difficult time sleeping at night let alone doing my job which is 8 to 10 hours a day for a global medical device. This will not let me upload it 5 to 6 different photographs I took. I will attempt to do it once more. I had to take Monday off work from and literally work from three in the morning until 730 or eight in the morning the following day where I’m sorry the same day on Monday to be able to take the rest of the day off and not embarrass me

We stayed there for the wonderful beach front & location right across the street from the main downtown. We ate our meals & shopped downtown. The rest of the time we sat at the beach and enjoyed the evening music at the bar at the beach. The hotel is old but our room was clean & bed was comfortable. Bonus they provide great beach towels.
