i enjoyed the pool & the lobby, but i loved the free breakfast.

Victoria, United States of America

Staff attempted to do well for us. Company policy seems to not have enough cleaning people for the number of rooms.

Edward, United States of America

The guest service lady Isabell was very friendly and nice.

Miguel, United States of America

The property was beautiful and the staff were awesome.

Amber, United States of America

Great location. 10 minutes walk from boardwalk. Staff was super friendly. Pool and hot tub area was great

Kasi, United States of America

The only thing my family and I liked about the place was the pool and the beds.

Jorge, United States of America

breakfast bar is good, basic but satisfactory Room was clean, but a bit dated, otherwise perfectly acceptable. The weekend stay coincided with with High school sr's week, and the Solares being lower end had a buch of HS students, but they were well behaved. Mgt also accommodated our request for top floor quiet room.

Hfarb1, United States of America

Great staff and room was great size. Nice pool and outdoor area. Felt safe.

Michell, United States of America

Once I showed the staff pictures of the room they changed my room

Shawana, United States of America

눉At 4:30 in the afternoon our room which looked out on the swimming pool was still not ready for checkin. After a couple of false starts staff "upgraded" us to a giant, twin king room, that looked out on the parking lot and was poorly lit.
눇Staff attempted to do well for us. Company policy seems to not have enough cleaning people for the number of rooms.
