Tolles Hotel mit Pool und Strandzugang - wir waren schon mehrfach dort und werden wieder hinfahren
Pros:

Tolle Lage am Ende einer Sackgasse direkt am Strand. Bar an Pool und Strand mit nachmittags-Happy-Hour. Sehr großes Zimmer. Nette Frühstücksmöglichkeit im Haus. Parkplatz vorhanden. Geschäfte und Restaurants in Laufweite.

Cons:

Die Teppichböden sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Der Hauptaufzug war mehrfach defekt. Die Eismaschine im 3. Stock ist sehr laut. Es gibt leider kein Willkommensgeschenk (Wasserball) mehr.

Pros:

My friend told the staff that it was my birthday and they were kind enough to write it on the board in the room and set up a pretty flower petal display of happy birthday. It was very nice and I was happily surprised.

Cons:

I do think you need a new rug in the hallway going to the rooms. They were already faded with stains on them. What do you disposing the trash coming? I need your ID.

Might stay again with hopes of some changes
Pros:

Location was terrific. Beach, pool, bar , downtown

Cons:

No closet or dresser in room for cloths. The worst part was the staffs inability to stop a woman from coming to our pool with her dog ! She was suppose to use a different pool because of where her room was and our pool clearly posted No Dogs! Brought it to their attention twice but issue was not resolved.
