The property was under renovation, but setting that aside, the room we had was freshly renovated and was very comfortable. The staff was very helpful.

The room was clean and spacious. The hotel is undergoing a total renovation, so there were boxes and materials all around. I was on the ground floor and they had not renovated the ground floor yet.
The only “bad” thing was the entrance driveway had huge potholes. This hotel will be wonderful when completely renovated. I’m just happy to have a clean room and comfy bed.
Currently under construction, so not all amenities are available at the current moment, but this hotel is great for if you just need a safe affordable place to sleep. Massive sturdy building. Probably a great place to be if there was a tornado. Every staff person i have encountered was very kind and helpful. Would recommended to anyone traveling on a budget. Good value for the price.
We loved our room and the lady at the front desk was so friendly and accommodating. The toilet was a little low to the floor though. Would recommend this hotel

Great room for the price. Was perfect for wat I need it for.
The hotel was a little off the beaten path but it wasn’t too crowded and the room we stayed in was very nice it was a two room suite and very quiet and clean we have stayed in many other high end hotels that were nowhere as nice as this one for half the price
Our room was nice and clean and had a comfortable bed
The pools was closed for repair as well as the fitness center and they did not have any continental breakfast as promised.
The room was a disaster… looked like it was getting renovated well we were in there… but the staff was excellent… breakfast… food was out and the food that was there was ice cold… I wasn’t the place I thought I would get for the money.

The pool was closed and half the equipment in the fitness center was broken However the room was clean, the bed was great and the wifi was fast and didnt throttle.
Property was a dirty room smelled like cat pee, but they did change our rooms. Paul was closed and they did not advertise that online. People were friendly.
The room was really big, the minifridge and microwave where tiny and no counter space. Had to go ask for towels like 3 times. The breakfast was toast, bagels, or cereal... Also the pool was under construction but that's meh.
Went to the beach just north of here. Good time at the beach and no the trails.

Great price. Housekeeping needs attention. The room was spacious but was not cleaned well. The bed was made messy. There was hair on the floor in bathroom, tub and faucets were outdated and room had no towels. But the plus was it was half the price then surrounding hotels and restaurants were not far from property
The free breakfast was very disappointing. The remote didnt work. They were not busy, so I wondered why the mangement couldnt get the simple things. But it was a comfortable sleep in a clean room.
The outside of the hotel was an eye sore, but the room itself was nice. The members of staff were pleasant, when you could find one. We had a broken toilet seat that was never fixed and there was only one ice machine that worked. The pool, gym and media room was closed. Oh and the “grab and go breakfast” was a joke. My family was there to experience the Dunes, which was awesome! However with none of the hotel amenities available during our stay we had enough. So much so that we returned home a day earlier than planned.
