Staff was friendly and check in went smoothly. Parking was easy. Layout of room was somewhat inconvenient as bed was butted up against the wall. Wall paper was peeling rooms could,use a c good renovation. We were staying in the tower. Ground wet well kept and very tropical. I wouldn’t recommend this location to anyone.

No matter what you pay for the room, expect an extra $100 per day with resort fees/parking, tax. Having said that, I would absolutely stay here again. The staff is very friendly and helpful - which is a sign that they are treated well by management! Which is HUGE in my book. The rooms were fine, the location excellent, the grounds beautiful. I can't wait to go back! Especially to see "Arlow" - the resort cat!!

I had stayed at this property 20 years ago and was excited to go back. Unfortunately the hotel is very run down. Part of the hotel was out of hot water, the rooms smelled old and musty and the overall property felt dirty. The worst part is - when checking out, the property charges you a $44 fee per night; this is not mentioned in the total cost when reserving online. This was an unexpected $200 cost.

We liked the location, grounds, staff and facilities overall. The heated pool and free arcade was a big hit for our 9yo and the short walk to the beach boardwalk and restaurants was great. However, the room in the tower was outdated and below the level of quality we expected given the price. Sticky surfaces, questionable carpet cleanliness, broken patio door, barely usable kitchen, broken hot water, broken elevator…more “dorm” feeling than resort.

Everything was great, with the exception of the musty smell in the room. The smell never went away because each and every time you enter the room the musty smell is unmistakably pronounced. However, you’ll get “nose blind” to the smell the longer you are in the room. We were upgraded to the room we were in which looks recently renovated. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The hotel itself and the grounds looked clean and well maintained.

It was a tropical atmosphere with smiling staff! Greeted warmly upon arrival. Offered water. Check in was smooth and I stayed in the 700 block of rooms on the ground level. Room was large with comfortable queen beds. Large bath with double sinks and a place to put my stuff. Small table with 2 chairs, double 3 drawer dressers. Very NICE! Outdoor area was beautiful and enjoyed my 3 nights there.
