10/10 Excellent
"I stayed here 10 years ago and they definitely have done some remodeling and decorating stuff...love that there was a tki bar/restaurant on the property that plays live music and has games outside area...also pet friendly with a small dog park...and there is a small but very clean pool with new chairs and loungers out there...very much budget friendly, not all the fancy stuff, but no bug issues, staff helps ASAP, and very close to all the areas shops restaurants, beach, and lake are all within a mile...will always continue to stay here even if I can afford a beachfront fancy hotel, I would still pick here everytime, from 2016 until 2026, it has only gotten better!"
