Clean, nice quiet area, friendly staff and very reasonable prices!
Pros:

I liked how clean the room was. I’ve stayed in a lot of places and I’m honestly surprised that this place doesn’t have 10 stars! It was probably the cleanest room I’ve stayed in. It is definitely an older place but I’m still in awe of how clean it was! My room was #127. Also the night guy Demarcus was so nice!

Cons:

If I was looking for anything to suggest for the property it would be the breakfast. I personally enjoyed it but I’m not very picky. I had muffins and a banana every day. My husband wasn’t happy about it though. He wanted something hot. Also the mosquitoes were really bad when playing putt putt. Maybe spray for them.

We'd stay here again!
Pros:

Staff was amazing - give Demarcus a raise! He went above and beyond! The parking availability was an absolutely wonderful perk - thank you! The little cafe was a nice touch and the woman behind the counter was the sweetest. The room was spacious and well laid out.

Cons:

The STAIRS were in horrendous - even dangerous - condition! I realize you're dealing with the sea air/salt, but they were so scary! Hubby has two artificial hips and I was extremely nervous about him climbing up and down those, especially with our luggage. If we'd been staying more than one night, we would have asked for a ground floor room.

You remove check in and waiting on paying for snacks. It was great
Pros:

I liked the room because it was bigger than most hotel rooms

Cons:

I didn't like check in. it took us 25 minutes to check in. There was only one person working it made for the lines long. Went back two more times and the poor guy was still backed up. I had to wait almost 20 minutes just to pay for a coke. But i will give you this that young man was very pleasant and handled everyone's displeasure for having to wait . Get that young man some HELP

Pros:

It was close to Walmart and a decent breakfast before the cruise.

Cons:

The restroom inside the room was a shower I kind of wish it was a tub and shower combo so I could’ve given my toddler a bath. That was my fault for not double checking.
