The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Delights

During my stay, I had the pleasure of dining at Ace Diner, where I enjoyed some truly flavorful meals. The prices were reasonable for the quality of food offered, and I appreciated that they had options for breakfast as well. It's the perfect spot to refuel before heading out for the day. For two people, we spent around $50, but it was definitely worth it given the quality and portion sizes.

Fun Arcade Adventures

I had a blast in the arcade area! The variety of games kept the whole family entertained for hours, and we even enjoyed the mini-golf setup. It's a great venue for both kids and adults, giving everyone something fun to do. I noticed while other guests were enjoying their time that the staff were very friendly and helpful, adding to the fun atmosphere!

Family-Friendly Fun

The children enjoyed the water park immensely! Although it was crowded, the warm lazy river was a highlight for my little ones. They loved the thrill of the slides and I felt at ease knowing there were plenty of lifeguards around. It made our getaway truly nice, and we loved having a family-friendly hotel option!

Comfortable Room Setup

Overall, the room was comfortable despite a few minor issues. The beds were inviting and provided restful sleep after long days of exploring. I appreciated having plenty of towels and toiletries available in the room, which made our stay more convenient. The decor was slightly dated, but it suited the laid-back vibe of our visit.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the ocean view suite we stayed in was incredibly comfortable and clean, the long walk to the room across another building was a bit inconvenient. The service was excellent, with everyone being so helpful, but I did encounter some concerns regarding cleanliness in my other rooms. Overall, I loved the stay and would recommend it to friends, but I hope they improve on certain aspects for a truly fantastic experience.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with the rooms being exceptionally clean and fresh upon arrival. The service felt personal, especially with Brittney going above and beyond to celebrate my birthday. However, the dining was confusing at times with mixed-up orders. The location was also a mixed bag; while being close to many attractions, the noise at night was quite disruptive. Overall, it was a decent experience with a few bumps along the way.

My stay was quite disappointing due to the cleanliness and maintenance issues I encountered. The rooms were not as clean as I expected, with a lingering smell and unkempt air conditioning units.
