"I didn’t like that you have to request towels to get clean towels. If you shower twice in one day you have no clean towels. Don’t reuse towels to dry off with. Also have to request for your bed sheets to be replaced. The drinks at the bar pool didn’t seem to have any alcohol in it. I drank 3 drinks ..."

"Inn is nice. Room had great AC. My only complaint was the upkeep of things. Elevator area was dated and seemed unsafe. Putt-putt was in TERRIBLE shape. Turf is so tore up you can barely play.

"The hotel is absolutely stunning & the pool was fantastic. The location is perfect with the beach access & area was also a great spot. The only negative thing was our room was pretty small but that could be just being an older historic hotel, was definitely clean & comfy bed just small."
