We lived our stay! We had our two youngest kids with us and it was a breeze with the location of our room. I love that there were additional towels provided for the pool area. Plenty of shade for the pool areas with an additional kiddie pool so that was very accommodating. I appreciated the cleanliness of the rooms and the overall area. I would stay here again!

Right on beach. Close to restaurants. Balcony w view. A bit dated and parking is tight and right on busy road. lots of noise from traffic and car stereos partying etc but quiet once you get in to the room although kind of thin walls. Kitchenette was handy.

I spent 7 nights there with my 16 year old daughter and loved it. The hotel is a little dated, but it’s on the beach has 2 pools, lounge chairs and picnic tables in front of the rooms. There are multiple charcoal grills for guests to use and the staff was amazing. It’s also only a 5 minute walk to Pier Park Mall! My only three wants would be, larger soap, shampoo, conditioner, a microwave from 2020’s and maybe free beach chairs and umbrellas.

This is a great location and affordable accommodation. It is very dated, but i did not spend a lot of time in the room. The staff were very nice and helpful. It was walking distance to Walmart and several restaurants…even TopGolf. It is not a bougie place, but beachside and beach view. I would stay here again, my wife would not stay here.

My wife and I stayed here one night as we were just passing through. The room was very clean and comfortable, and our only regret is that we didn't get to stay longer. The view from the balcony was great and we enjoyed the direct beach access. Everyone on the staff was friendly and helpful. We hope we can visit again someday soon.
