Property is still under construction so there is jack hammering and scaffolding and elevators being blocked off to transport construction equipment, Ave debri and dust, but we made due. Not horrible but not ideal either. The room was clean and I'm always thankful for the convenience of having a microwave and refrigerator in the room. The hotel staff were very helpful and kind. The restaurant staff were not very welcoming. The pool area was very nice. I was most surprised that the room doors open to outside similar to a typical motel. Great location right on the Seawall across from the beach and restaurants. Not sure that I'd stay here again until after construction is complete.
Top 2 floors Under renovation...at the time we stayed....our room was not one of renovated but was very good for all elements.
Pool area with Jiggers Lounge was excellent..
Food very good...recommend the stay for anyone...location across from seawall...
The condition of the room was excellent and the view was perfect. The water of the jacuzzi had a lot of bleach, and we had an incident in the jacuzzi.

Because of renovations dirty hallways, elevators etc. Bathroom needs extra TLC ! Dripping faucet….
Room service was good.
Prices should have been reduced to all the inconvenience!
The 2 ladies working when I checked in were fantastic. They were kind and knowledgeable. I wrote their names down but can't find it now.... Will return
Electricity went out …. Don and Joey were great! The helped my boyfriend and I. Kudos to the both of them.

It was nice property, not being able to check in until 3:30 on a prepaid room (at 2:30) was a hassle. Going through the minutia of all the conditions of use was a hassle. Got it that it's a spring break property, but the actual conditions should carry some weight.

Staff were all amazing. Property is being updated so a little noisy and messy but sure it’ll be awesome once it’s done.
Property was under construction and we were told we had an ocean view. Our view was the roof of adjoining building with all the AC units and mechanical equipment. We asked to switch rooms and the only other room available was one that TV doesn’t work.
