Amazing stay and staff who go the extra mile

Thank you all for making my stay so memorable and extra special - both as a hotel guest and restaurant patron! I stayed on my birthday and every single member of staff went above and beyond to help make me feel so welcomed and cherished. You are all amazing, but some extra shout outs to Andy at the front desk, and Emma and Savannah in the restaurant for making me feel like a million bucks and for spoiling the heck out of me. (Oh yeah, and the room is so well appointed, location can't be beat, and there are all the comforts you could need while here, so the hotel experience itself was awesome too.) Can't wait to come back and see you all again!

Thumbs up.

Floor was gritty with sand on arrival. Bathroom sink didn’t empty- slow draining, very slow draining. At our arrival Andy helped get us to our rooms- all that went smoothly. When I wondered where the volume remote was- all I needed came through with us texting back and forth. We were good with that. Also we felt the manager went out of their way to check on the timing and pick up of the trolley for a wedding we were there for. The staff was very accommodating.

The website was a little deceiving. The room was small and unlike the pictures on the website. They didn’t provide daily upkeep. On Sunday I requested new towels, that weren’t delivered. I had to seek out housekeeping later in the day. Also the restaurant had crazy limited hours. Not like posted on the website. It served our purpose as far as location to a wedding that we were going to over the weekend. Other than that, it was a little disappointing.
