"No problems with checking in - the guy was very nice and helpful. The hotel was only open for three months after being closed for a year and a half for remodeling. We were on the first floor (the elevator was broke, which didn't affect us) away from the lobby and had no noise issues, though we got there later and were getting up earlier. The hotel is right next to the beach with a short walking path through the dune at the corner of the property.
Our room was a 2-full bedroom with a sofa bed. It would have been nice if there were 2-queen beds available as at other Home2 Suites, but the 6 of us made do. There were a couple of water bottles waiting for us in the room, and it was clean. It was bright and modern decorated, as we expected with Home2. We had a full window wall with a door going to a small fenced-in patio. The door was tricky to lock and the blackout curtain left a gap that sunlight came in through the morning and woke me up a little earlier than I would have liked. The shower had an upper head and a lower wand, but the hole for the wand was cut bigger than the backing and fairly visible - a potential mold issue down the road. I slept on the sofa bed - I could feel the bar, but was able to sleep. The room was cold enough.
Breakfast was great, though served in a small room that felt too crowded. Waffle station, muffins and bagels, grits, and a great hot section with bacon, sausages, egg patties, potato wedges, big biscuits, and delicious cheesy spinach danishes."
