It was nice and clean outside too. But our bathroom door didn't lock and didn't close properly. Needed to place towel to secure door closed tightly shut.

I thought the room was roomy and comfortable. Best hotel air conditioner ever by far! Was great that the owner lived on site and the hotel had such a warm family feel. Would have preferred more water pressure and a plug on both sides of the bed.

Great for just a quick stay. Pool was good but the room itself was outdated. Bathroom was bad in that the door knob was very loose and showerhead very old.

It was a good place to stay while on a fishing trip. No place to charge trolling motor batteries.

Great property to stay at. The beach is a 4 minute drive, Mexican restaurant and shaved ice shop right next to the property and shopping district in walking distance with golf cart rental businesses all around.

We loved our stay here. Only thing we had a issue with was the wifi connection and the tv was constantly having to buffer. Rather then that we loved it.

8/10

For the price, the room was great for a quick stay. I would have given it a 5star but there were some guest who were being rowdy and making alot of noise till 2am and i was surprised management did not ask them to stop after 10pm or so.
1-night trip

10/10

Very friendly staff, great location, the rooms were very nice! Would definitely stay here again.
3-night trip

10/10

Great place to stay for the price. Bed was super comfy but we did go purchase a comforter from dollar general bc the ones they have are pretty old and not great but the sheets were very clean and we slept great. Mary at the front desk was so sweet and gave amazing customer service. The rooms could use a deep clean but overall I would stay here again for the price and hospitality.
