“Like every hotel, it has it's ups and downs.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 18, 2013 via mobile

Let's start off by saying that we did not make reservations; we own a timeshare with WestGate. I'm not sure if that gets us better rooms, services, etc. Let's start out with the good!
Pro's:
-Very Clean!
-Friendly Employees All Around.
-Perfect Sized Rooms
-Full Kitchen (fridge, microwave, blender, toaster, etc.)
-Comfy Beds!
-Perfect Sized Couch and Dinner Table (for family of 4/5)
-Lots of Room
-Decent Privacy
-Big Showers

Now sadly, the cons:
-Long wait at front desk.
-Not many super close amenities (such as a food store, Walmart, etc.)
-If you don't have one already, they will try to make you buy a timeshare.

Thats really it people. Hope it helped! Until next time, happy travels!

3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2013

Good Things :
- Rooms were clean and Housekeeping staff was nice.
- Check-in attendant (male) was very nice and helpful
Bad Things:
- Parking was not adequate, even heard other guests make that statement
- Two of three treadmills and one of three elliptical machines in gym were not working correctly

- Had reservations from Saturday to Saturday, but checked out on Friday
- Ceck-out attnedant (female) was not very nice, did not ask why we were leaving early or how our stay was

Room Tip: View from north side of new tower was great.

“Worst hotel ever”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2013

We chose this hotel as it is close to the beach and downtown area. The pictures online are not what the hotel looks like. The rooms are dirty, the beds are unbelievably uncomfortable. They offer direct TV, which only had 13 channels that work sometimes. After we arrived my daughter got ill, when we decided she needed to be seen by a Dr and would have to leave, they refused to give me a refund for the night. There are cable cords running through the walls to the adjoining room. I guess they started upgrading the rooms but forgot to finish, as there is a flat screen tv on the wall, but they decided to leave the old tv and the falling apart armoire that they have it in, in the room. Not only that, but we needed adjoining rooms and the armoire was blocking the door to get to the other room. The heat has two settings ON and OFF. Nothing in the middle, so you are either so hot you can't stand it or freezing. Please do not stay here. Not even worth the great rates that they offer.

Room Tip: Don't bother

Thank you for taking the time to share your comments. We are very sorry to hear that we were not able to meet your expectations by changing or refunding your non-refundable reservation. If you feel this was in error we would be more than happy to discuss the matter with you and encourage you to give us a call. While non-refundable reservations may apply for deep discounts or when third party reservations are paid in advance to internet booking agents, we are more than willing to be flexible whenever possible. Depending on the circumstances we normally can work something out unless a deadline from the third party has expired and we are not able to recoup cost from the booking agent.
Please by all means give us a call as we will take this under consideration.
Again, we are sorry that we inconvenienced you in any way as it is our desire to provide you with a quality vacation experience and to exceed your expectations.

“Surprised!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2013

My husband made reservations here for an overnight stay. I read the reviews on the way there and was about to tell him I didn't want to stay there. I'm thinking former employees must have written reviews because they were angry. If I had known we'd be upgraded to a suite, I'd have asked him to reserve a weekend. We stayed in the Tower. We had a balcony with an ocean view and the room(s) were wonderful. We had two bedrooms, the master had a king bed with a jacuzzi and an awesome bathroom/glass shower. The suite also had a combo dining room/living room with a big screen TV, a complete kitchen with washer and dryer. The bed was so comfortable. I could have stayed much longer! I don't plan to purchase into their time share option but I wouldn't mind staying there again.

Room Tip: Ask for a room in the tower. It's my understanding they are newer and cleaner.
