8/10 Very good

Great stay and will be back again!
Limited parking. Getting luggage to check in was interesting. Carried luggage up the stairs and rolled it along the uneven walkway into the hotel. Hotel has nice grounds but clearly dated. Although being beachside does cause endless corrosion. Staff and pleasant and appear to enjoy working there. Check in was quick. Room was very spacious with a nice golf course view. Loved the spacious bathroom and separate tub and shower. Appreciate the recyclable bag and umbrella. Checkout was seamless although I wish they would mention if parked in garage, you’ll be able to exit without the key. Great stay and will definitely stay again. Unable to use the facilities this time. Gym looked a bit too far (isolated) from the main hotel
