Ensley Shopping Center

Recently took a vacation here. Overall 3 stars. This hotel is marketed as a 4 star resort and it’s definitely not that. Nice hotel, but not a 4 star resort. The view from my room to the beach was nice but the rooms are very dated. This “4 star resort” had no robes available in room. The elevator is old and smells. A few of the hallways have a strong scent, the wallpaper in the room is peeling off the walls and the bathroom is only half of a shower door. Floors weren’t swept. There is not closet or space to place bags. Hotel parking is a nightmare. Had to park a good walk away at the parking garage as no front parking was available. Parking is $15 plus 2.5% card charge per night on “resort”. This place is too small to be considered a resort. Just a hotel with a pool conveniently located next to the beach. I paid extra to use beach equipment $55+ tax per day for 2 chairs and umbrella. Either travel with your own or be prepared to pay $$$. The food was absolutely terrible and expensive. The best food I ate was off the resort. Food seems to be frozen and heated, not freshly made. Nothing had flavor. Including the breakfast. I would recommend not eating on the resort at all.The servers were polite. Drinks are VERY watered down. Not one drink I had was good. Staff was friendly and beach was the nicest part. I wouldn’t recommend or return.

Amazing location and amenities
