Great location on the Seawall. We had a first floor room which was like a motel style, parking outside the door area. Don’t mind those but not at the price point we paid for the room. Room was tired looking but clean. Busy pool but nice area to sit and have a pool snack and drinks. Great pool service. Average hotel, ok for our one night stay.

Air conditioning unit was as loud as a portable generator. Main elevator was broken so you had to walk completely around the building exiting through multiple doors to get to the 1 working set. When I tried to speak to staff about our entire family not being able to sleep due to the faulty AC unit which stayed at a cool 80 degrees the cool “sassy” sarcastic employee who I wasn’t even conversing with at the counter made sure to chime in with rude comments throughout my conversation. Nothing was done, a sorry about that was what we left with. NEVER booking there again. Simply because of they staff lack of experience.

This resort was awesome! They had live music each night and a fun DJ at the poolside! Lots of interactive things to do and the view was gorgeous! Sam in the Jetty was so tender and took care of us when we dined in! Cole was a fast slinging bartender, honest and gave great suggestions for new beer to try! Such a magical stay. Will return. Just not through Expedia

The staff were friendly. They just need some updates to the rooms. My AC unit squeaked and squeeled all night. The ceiling in the bathroom constantly flakes off getting white specks on anything you leave in there. The location was great. The pool was fun.

For starters, at check-in they tried to charge us an additional incidental fee for each of the 2 nights. We explained that the room, parking, and incidental had been paid that morning even tho we had selected to pay at arrival- peculiar to select pay at hotel but force us to pay earlier in the day to keep our reservation, per their policy as they stated. A different staff member stepped in to look over the reservation to see all had been paid. We selected for the balcony with a view, apon entering our room the door to the balcony was screwed shut and the scaffolds from the construction were in front of our window. That was not the view we were looking forward to nor not having access to the balcony. The shower/bathtub combo did not drain well, stood in water well past ankle deep. There was loud commotion, hollering, cussing from other guests outside of our room- lasted about 10 minutes. No hotel staff calmed the situation and the following day other guests complained of the disgruntle guests. At checkout we inquired compensation due to not being able to use our balcony as we paid over $600 for 2 nights. They removed the 2 $10 parking fees…. needless to say we will not stay at this location again.
