Top marks for the staff..
The front desk staff have received many rave reviews for their friendly and professional customer service, with guests often noting that they are pleased to recommend restaurants and share their knowledge of the area with new visitors. Compliments also go to the chef; many guests rate the complimentary breakfast as a "one of the best" hotel breakfasts in their experience. Eggs, sausage, grits, cereal, fruit, yogurt, and make-your-own waffles are some of the many tasty options.

Plenty of room to relax..
Most guests find the rooms to be spotlessly clean and spacious, with modern furnishings and bathrooms. Families and long-term guests appreciate the convenience of the full kitchens, and many rate the beds as exceptionally comfortable as well. The pool and patio area are inviting, well maintained spaces, and the hot tub seems to be particularly roomy as well. Many guests also enjoy the outdoor fire pit.
positive:
Good value for money..
Guests widely feel that the hotel offers very good value for money and are quick to list the "free" amenities: parking, Wi-Fi, and breakfast. The location is also very good for a day at the beach; guests can walk there in about five minutes, and the historic downtown is only a couple miles away.

negative:
Barking dogs..
Some guests are put off by the hotel's pet friendly policy; however, guests who wish to avoid dogs can request rooms on the 3rd, 4th, or 5th floor.
negative:
A big crowd at breakfast..
The hotel's complimentary breakfast is widely popular, and though the dining area is a good size, some guests find the scene a bit too crowded during "prime time".
negative:
To err is human..
Though most guests find the rooms very clean, a few guests were disappointed to find oversights in the kitchen area or bathroom.
