I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel due to its great location near the beach and restaurants. The rooms were spacious and equipped with good storage, making for a comfortable stay, although I did miss having a bedside lamp. The service was friendly, but I did experience a little confusion with the pricing. Overall, it was good value for money, but there were a few minor hiccups.

My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The location was fantastic, situated right on the beach and close to a Publix for convenience. While the rooms were clean, they unfortunately had a bit of a sewer smell, which was quite off-putting. The staff was mostly friendly, but I did encounter one cranky desk clerk. Overall, I think there's potential for improvement, especially in service and room conditions.

I had a somewhat disappointing experience during my stay. While the location is fantastic right on the beach and the king bed was super comfy, the room itself felt dark and lacking in basic kitchenware. The hotel seems to cater more to spring breakers, which might not be ideal for those looking to relax. Also, I wasn't informed about the hefty parking fee, which was an unwelcome surprise at checkout.

This hotel has a fantastic beach location, which offers great sunset views and convenience. The rooms are spacious with two double beds, but they really could use a deep cleaning and a fresh coat of paint. While the staff is friendly, some service moments felt a bit rushed. The dining experience was decent but could use an expansion on breakfast offerings. Overall, it's a good value but there's certainly room for improvement.
