Pros:

I believe it is a family owned hotel, possibly a former Days Inn? The staff is so friendly and accommodating.. The whole hotel smells amazing! The rooms are clean, comfy, and have nice finishes. The grounds are gated, keeping them more secure. The pool area is updated and very relaxing. This was our second stay there, and we'll definitely stay there again.

It ruined our little trip.
Pros:

I liked that we were close to the ocean and fun things to do. The staff was friendly. The room was clean.

Cons:

The pool had too many chemicals or something and it fried my 8-year-old daughter's hair. When I told the staff member, he said he would tell the supervisor. I would have liked to talk to the supervisor, but he was on the phone at the time. What happened was not acceptable. Also, the elevator did not work more than half the time, and we were on the third floor with lots of stuff and children.
