Larry the Manager was great however the Expedia agents apparently did not call the property when I asked four times. Upon my visit to the hotel I decided to get another property as it is really a 2 star. Expedia would not refund the property after several attempts with multiple agents. I can go on and on but will not.

We were going out to dinner and needed to iron some clothes, but our iron didn’t work. I called the front desk and was told someone would bring one to us right away. It never came. We had to leave for our reservation and told the front desk. They said they would have one waiting for us when we came back. It wasn’t ready. They told us they’d bring one up to our room, which they did…5 hours after I requested it. Even then, the “new” iron didn’t work. Not happy.

Location near dining areas and beach. Breakfast is good but the lady in charge not friendly. No refill of servings despite request from guests. Overall, we are happy with our stay.
