A nice suite hotel with reasonable prices. Close to beaches, shopping, and dining. Room was decent size with everything needed. The pool is outdoors and across the parking lot as it is shared with another hotel. The staff was knowledgeable about local beaches with helpful suggestions. The breakfast was a typical hotel buffet with the basics.

Rooms were clean and great space and storage . Enjoyed the pool and the outdoor BBQ area. Only thing is the kitchen area floors weren't very clean and cookware a pot and pan were very scorched not able to really use . I would stay again but would need my own cookware .

Great for families. We loved the access to food, Target, Costco, and outlets. Close enough to university and beach. Only hot menu item for breakfast is waffles, but that's fine, they did have boiled eggs and sausage sandwiches that could be heated in microwave so that gave good savory options. Very clean, great staff.

It was perfect for our big group. We had 2 separate bedrooms and the living room with a pull out bed and kitchen area. Two vanities- in the bathroom and a second one by the 2 bedrooms- which worked out great when we all were getting ready. The carpets could be replaced but overall we were happy with the accommodations. The patio in the back was nice. The pool is across the parking lot at the sleep inn, which was a little confusing but we asked at the front desk and they were very helpful in answering all of our questions.

Overall it was ok. The staff was friendly but they will fully charge you BEFORE check in if they are fully booked with no notification. The elevator is aggressive in its take off and landing. The rooms are nice. The breakfast leaves room for improvement. Not a baf stay but also noy fantastic.

The room was absolutely filthy! The couch was stained, torn & thread bare. Stains on the bed covers. The refrigerator was rusty & dented. The carpet was stained. We only stayed because we had drove 10 hours & couldn’t get a refund. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone!
