Good value at a reasonable price.
Pros:

Other reviewers were right about the breakfast. For a hotel, it was fabulous. Delicious omelette, potatoes and lots of other selections, served by with helpful and friendly staff. And a “bold” coffee selection for those of us who are not fans of weak hotel coffee. Excellent!

Cons:

No complaints.

Will use another hotel next year.
Pros:

Breakfast was fine. Could have been extended 30 minutes, as it was crowded.

Cons:

Access room had a filthy shower. The shower floor was despicable.
2 soap for hands, one soap for shower. TWO people shared room and had to share one small soap to shower!
No soap dispenser!
Noisy staff in the morning. Room must have been near storage area.
Housekeeping knocked on door early, although SIGN ON DOOR. She apologized.

Great value but needs to work in the room I stayed in.
Pros:

The Staff were great and the location.

Cons:

Room 108. The AC would freeze out a penguin. Zero control over the temp. Fing freezing.

The toilet had a permanent stain that looks like feces. I’m sure it’s iron but it should be replaced.

I enjoyed my visit so much!! Having so many places close by was wonderful!
Pros:

The Staff was amazing!! Very Kind!!
The Breakfast was great!! They had these little mini cheese omelettes that were yummy! Bacon, homestyle type cubed potatoes. A coffee machine that had all kinds of coffee. Toast, cereal, and of course a waffle machine! Also a yogurt machine!! I know I am forgetting something though!!
Smelled good too!! Sorta of a beachy smell!!
Beds were so comfortable, sheets nice!! Towels very nice! Plenty of soaps.
IHOP, Olive Garden, and my fav Jasons Deli in the parking lot. Costco was there also. Academy Sports is in the lot too!
I had come in for the River to the Sea ride, (rained out) and I was able to bring my bike to the room. I am very grateful for that!!

Cons:

Remote was only half working!! Lol! I did tell the desk on checkout..
The parking area is sort of a tight turn in so be aware!! I came in by Costco so I came behind the property and had to turn left and other lot traffic from the other businesses was meeting me.

The worst stay I've ever had in my 66 years of life
Pros:

The breakfast was exceptional

Cons:

The hotel had an odor that I was allergic to. Their entire time I stayed there I had a headache and a sore throat. The hotel also rented rooms to a fraternity two of the three nights that I was there. They had parties until two or three in the morning doors were being slammed. Kids were streaming up down the halls. It was horrible. This was the worst experience I've had in a hotel in my 66 years I did complain to the hotel staff and nothing was done. I would never stay here again.
