Very disappointing stay. The room had a strong paint smell, which made it difficult to sleep comfortably throughout the night. The room was extremely small, and the window faced the passageway, making it impractical to keep it open. Additionally, the bed was very noisy and squeaked with every movement, making it even harder to get a good night's sleep. Overall, the room was overpriced and not worth the money.
place is still under heavy construction, room was not ready until 5 and i had to follow up she forgot to text me when it was ready. there were construction items and random furniture on our balcony. the small indoor couch was absolutely covered in dog hair, no way we could sit on it. the pool gates were locked every morning and we needed to remind the staff, with a response each time "oh yeah let me unlock the. the rates were higher than comparable places near by. the parking was lousy due to construction trailer and other work trucks. no full length mirror in our room and i paid extra for a deluxe suite but was far from deluxe. the room was new and clean so was the pool, but these two factors are why i gave 2 stars vs 1 or no stars. i may email the owner and debating a claim to the BBB

Place looks like it opened to early, they still setting the place up. Our first room the door did not close properly, it would not lock. We moved to another room and the keys did not work, had to wait for Manager to try and fix the sensors on the door lock. It still took 15-20 swipes for key to open. 3rd night we had a dam dog barking for most of the night, we got no sleep. Only good thing was the staff was extremely helpful and tried to fix everything thing, I think they are facing an uphill battle as this place needs work.
We recently stayed here and overall had a very positive experience.
The rooms have been recently renovated, and the upgrades are beautiful. The space felt modern, clean, and fresh. While there was still quite a bit of construction happening around the property, it did not disrupt our stay at all.
One thing we really appreciated was being allowed to park onsite before check-in. That gave us the opportunity to spend the entire day exploring the area without worrying about parking.
When we arrived at our room, housekeeping was still finishing up. The team was extremely apologetic and worked quickly to get everything ready for us. We appreciated their professionalism and friendly attitude.
Our only disappointment was the balcony upgrade. We paid extra for an ocean-view balcony, but the view was primarily of the parking lot, and we would have needed to lean over the railing to see the water. That said, the beach is literally right across the street, so you’re never far from the ocean. My recommendation: save your money and skip the balcony upgrade.
One final tip: make sure you eat at Wharf 24, the food truck onsite. The food was absolutely amazing and ended up being one of the highlights of our stay.
Overall, a great location, comfortable updated rooms, and a team that genuinely cares about guest experience.
