We enjoyed the convenience of the hotel location. Short walk to the beach short drive to basically anything and everything that you would want to do. I would say that the hotel is in some needs of some upgrade our key card to get into our room hardly ever worked. We had to exchange it out three or four times while we were there. And we never knew which was going to work.

Loved the view from our corner unit. It had everything in it to make our stay comfortable. The Manager was a pleasure to deal with.

I stayed here on March 15-20. The staff was nice, especially the restaurant manager. When I booked this hotel, I was under the impression there was a small sandwich/bar out beside the pool. It was under construction, so that limited our choice of restaurants. The onsite restaurant did have very good breakfasts. The location of the hotel, exercise room, the heated pool and hot tub made up for the inconvenience of low water pressure and sand on the floor. I was ready to buy a whisk broom at one point because either we would track sand in from the patio, or it would be left after the cleaning. Overall, not a fancy place, but it is on the beach, there are shared beach toys available, and it is within walking distance to a convenience store, restaurants, and an Alvins Souvenir Shop.

It was our first time staying. So our AC didn’t work had to have 3 people come and looks at it. But they did replace it. My key card never work always had to go back to the front desk and reset. It was very noisy. Overall it was ok

Disappointed with hotel. Only one working elevator (actually person in front got stuck and needed to call for help). Second elevator has been out for 4 months. Balcony deadbolt would not lock. Heater did not work in room. Construction was going on in same section of hotel.

Somewhat ok
Easy checkin. Friendly staff. Hotel is undergoing some updates. One of the elevators was down in C building. So there was a wait at times. $10 per day to park seems somewhat ridiculous for a hotel. Conveniently located. We were in room 713 where the door needs to be adjusted because it was hard to open and shut. Beds were comfortable. Nice touch of having your own broom and dust pan.

They need to do something about thei roaches infestation, its absolutely horrendous. We had to put some of our furniture on the balcony because it was full of roaches. Our building was unbelievably hot because they have one AC/Heat controller for the entire building. Absolutely horrendous. Never Again!

$20 for parking nightly in the parking lot is ridiculous and kept putting the do not disturb on the door to come back to the room and housekeepers moved all your stuff around.. might want to lock up your stuff if you plan on leaving. Was really quiet and the pool/ hot tub was nice with a beautiful view otherwise..

Please update this place!
We come here annually for a football weekend. While the view is amazing and the price is decent, this place is in dire need of major updates. I leave the same review every year and we’ve been coming here for a decade. If a view of the Gulf of Mexico is not critical for you, I don’t recommend staying here.

Housekeeping was knocking at my door "each day" at 9:30am, although check-out was at 11am. I also booked the room for 3 nights. This was very irritating.

A lot of issues with the room such as roaches, rusty fixtures, broken doors, mold in bathroom, nonworking electrical outlets. Paid for a full gulf view and only had a partial view. Balcony was not even big enough to sit on which was not pictured in the gulf view room. Fell outside lobby on wet ceramic tile and not been able to get a copy of the incident report. Still have pain fourth day after fall with no contact after day two. Very uncomfortable furniture. Plastic bathroom cups were never replaced with new ones with four nights stay. Very difficult to navigate property without having to walk through slippery walkways. Walkways through property very dark.
