Very good

This hotel is old and overpriced. I paid double the rate of our friends for the same period only one day longer. We both booked through Expedia.
The breakfast is terrible. For example, the orange juice tasted and smelled bad.
I could have stayed in a better hotel for much less.
The room was fine. I gave it four stars for the fact that it’s just an aging facility so It’s not quite as nice as some of the newer ones. But it was clean and the staff was friendly. Some of the things should be replaced soon like the lampshade over the table was old and the inside lining was cracking and coming away from the shade. The drapes were also missing some of the connectors keeping it on the rod properly at some spots. The breakfast was good and the location and view was great!
Breakfast and employee attitude was not good , area around and location was great .I cut down my trip since this was not place to sleep with comfort , pool side was too loud due to restaurant music.
This property was not at all what I expected based on the pictures, I was really let down and didn’t even want to stay. If I would have known what it actually looked like I would have chosen a different place.
The staff was very nice though
Property isn't being maintained. We used to love this hotel and stayed ofte. Upstairs courtyard room had strong paint smell and we had to move 2 times. One room was missing lightbulbs and hot water faucet in sink was broken. Also toilet would not flush so had to move all of our belongings again. Breakfast used to be amazing and they have cut back so much its barely edible. No more bacon or scrambled eggs. Just bland burritos, potatoes and runny grits. They also rent a family size room with a broken hot tub. Either they should repair or remove.
I took my 1 year old on a mommy daughter beach trip. We chose the seaside in for the convenience of being close to the beach and the reviews looked good compared to others. The front desk lasy Stephanie was amazing she went above and beyond to welcome us and even give us brochures on the area activities for families.
My room was located on ground floor like i requested..perfectly.
My room cleanliness was poor. There were dirty tissues in the tissue holder on the sink the beds blankets had hair on them not sure if they were really washed. Luckily I brought my own blankets and pillows and coffe pot too lol. Everything else was great. If your short the beds are tall i had a climb up but thats no big deal. I would stay here again and next time i would bring more of my own blankets. The breakfast was a 4 out 10.
Room had missing lightbulbs and terrible paint smell in the room. Toilet wouldn't flush and we moved rooms 2 times. They spend no time making sure rooms are ready for guests. Stayed here many times but won't be back
This property exceeded our expectations! It is quaint, clean, staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Walking distance to dining and entertainment, excited to see how the breakfast is! Will definitely be coming back!
