3 Peaks Resort & Beach Club

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place."

The Jeffrey Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location was convenient to restaurants, stores, the beach and casinos. The rooms were renovated. All check in is by text or email. We had a problem with the gas fireplace that provides heat and called. A maintenance person came within a half hour. They allowed us to switch rooms when it could not be fixed to our comfort level. We were on the second floor. There is no elevator. If you have accessibility issues get a room on the first floor."
