The rooms are simple, no frills, but you’ve got everything you need. The cleaning staff does a superb job keeping the room clean and the beds were comfortable. Quiet and plenty of parking. Would stay here again.

Not great, I got greeted by an upset man, no hello or anything, room smelled musty & smelled of cigarette in a non-smoker room:/ chair was broken, towel bar holder was broken, mattress was worn & super uncomfortable! Microwave smoked up when used! Coffee maker was dirty. All around a bad experience. Front desk man came to my room to spy & rush me out from check out, he took pictures of my car it looks like… super weird man. Said nothing just stared and surrounded my car… another creepy man in a weird white car parked in front of my door just looking straight at me, scary. Will not go back:/

Quick checkin. Clean. Quiet during our stay. The bed was comfortable (for me). The only downside was the shower did not fully engage so the tub filled with water (ankles deep) but overall a lovely experience. Dining is within walking distance (a quick drive).

The Sand Castle in was really nice for the rate on the room. However I wasn't to happy with the pet fee of $40 a night. Especially because they had no where to even walk the dog. Thank goodness we bring our own dog doo doo bags.

The staff was terrible to deal with at check in. Had pre paid reservations and was told they couldn't find it. So I paid for a room and then found out. That the hotel did have my reservations and charge for that. So I was charge twice for the same stay.
