Everyone that work there was so kind and so helpful from checking in to house keeping. The hotel was walking distance to grocery stores and restaurants. The only thing was the pool was freezing cold.

Front desk staff were quick to assist and the property is well maintained. Convenient walk to shopping and food. Easy to jump on the road to the beach. LOVED the morning breakfast choices including healthier options of fruit and greek yogurt. Breakfast employee named "Q" was fabulous- she never stopped working and always checking to see if we needed anything. Also- truly appreciated the size of the bathroom in the accessible room. Could fit wheelchair in the bathroom comfortably. Used the laundry facilities also- they were clean and well maintained.

It was very clean. The only thing that kept me from writing five stars on everything was the A/C unit in our room was a little noisy at times. Probably needs some maintenance done on it. Also, the tub is very slippery.

My room had to be the cleanest hotel room I've stayed in in years. The breakfast options were really good, and loved that they had sausage gravy on Saturday as a choice. The staff was very friendly and always available. My only deduction of a star was the water pressure in the shower. It was very weak. Even with the adjustable pressure. A good strong shower is something that I think is needed when on a trip. But overall a great experience, and I would stay here again.

Great welcoming staff. Just two negatives about the room. First, the mattress was too soft and lumpy. Second, the window shade would not pull down so we were given a sheet and spring clamps to serve as a shade. It still was very bright in the room since the hotels outside lights were very bright outside our window. As a result, I did not get a good night's sleep.

It appears to be a fairly new property. Staff was very pleasant and friendly. the beds were very comfortable. It was very quiet. No residental near by. It was in the Walmart parking lot which was convenient and there was not much store traffic in the parking area. I felt safe. It was very convenient to our activities. Breakfast and coffee were good (but not "wonderful") . It changes menu from day to day. Biscuits were especially good but only had them one day. CON: the TV was terrible/ Samsung Smart TV on dish i think- only had 10-11 channels , only one network channel, 6 or more sport channels, It was not even connected to server for one day. It would not pair or mirror screen to play off our device. We ended up watching TV on my cell phone. It was very unpleasant. There was no channel list / front desk said "we don\'t have that" . When i commented that they needed to provide a channel list, she said, "others have already submitted/ complained about that to "somebody". "

This was very proactive and appreciative

When I checked in it was very busy Ryan handle each guest like a pro. He took his time with each guest, maintained high energy and explained the check in to each guest throughly. I was very impressed by this young man’s ability to handle that rush by himself. Everyone from housekeeping to the breakfast staff was friendly, accommodating and professional. I will make sure to stay here if I’m visiting again.

Our stay here was great! We will definitely stay again! We were right next to a pumpkin patch...where I bought 4 pumpkins...lol. walking distance to a Walmart (grocery only), and only a few minutes drive to the beach! This hotel is newer i believe, it was so clean, smelled great, and the staff were super friendly. A little disappointed that breakfast was exactly the same 2 mornings in a row, but it was good and there was a lot to choose from and again the staff was so friendly. The bed was comfortable, and it was quiet!!! Cant wait to come back!! (Hopefully the pancake machine will be fixed before we come back)

The staff was wonderful but we chose the location because of the complementary breakfast and you would not believe that somehow the right before breakfast was scheduled to open the kitchen staff said they blew a breaker and didn’t have power TO THE OUTLETS USED FOR COOKING ONLY.😩 The entire building had power but no one could figure out how to get power to the food area. It totally ruined our stay.
