Very upset
I booked 2 nights at this property and because of reasons beyond my control, I was not able to make the trip. I phoned the hotel to cancel my reservation. I was told that I was too late to cancel for a full refund and they would retain one nights cost. I had fully intended to make the trip. The booking agent I dealt with has kindly refunded one nights cost and contacted this property to cover the other night of which they refused. In addition to our room for two nights, our group booked 3 more rooms. The whole experience has been very stressful where it needn't have been.

The staff at this hotel were very nice and accommodating! The location was perfect and the room had all we needed. Would definitely go back as we didn’t get to play the mini golf course. 😁

Staff were really nice. Roxy was very sweet and pleasant. Outside the building looks very nice, up to date.
Inside though, I hate to say it but it just looks like lipstick was put on a pig.
Maybe you should've spent a little more money fixing up the rooms as much as you did the Outside.

It was close to the beach, a 5 minute walk and the stay included a round of mini golf at the facility next to the Inn. Joanna was awesome.
