First, I chose a November date so the review would be near the top due to the info I just found out. We actually stayed in April 2011. Second, my overall rating is based on that April 2011 stay. The place may be quite different now.

I was looking to stay here again with my family because we had done so previously (April 2011) and found it to be really nice for the price. Unfortunately, I just found out it has been sold from the Choice Hotels lineup and I will likely not try it again unless I read more positive reviews. Most of the ones after April 2011 are very negative. For the record, though, we found it clean and the staff very friendly. We have a pool in our neighborhood back in Georgia, so that wasn't even an issue for us. We came there for the beach. Starbuck's and Ron Jon's are conveniently close. There was also this great Asian-owned, local ice cream place down the road (north of hotel??) that did karaoke at night. That was a hoot!! Never laughed so hard in my life.

The photos on their site do not represent the rooms as they are today. The first room given - as my husband was opening the door the staff came running up to say no, I made a mistake that room is the wrong room! Returning back to the desk with him and being assigned another room - we entered and could not believe how "grimey" (the only word to express it) the couch , floors and bed was. I am quite sure the sheets had not been changed from the previous guest.We returned back to the desk and said "this is unacceptable" it is filthy. He offered 10% off, but we refused; it still wouldn't make it cleaner!
