    great location
    good breakfast
    poor cleanliness
    moldy ceilings

    The hotel was conveniently located near the beach, which was great. Unfortunately, the cleanliness left a lot to be desired, with moldy ceilings and damp sheets. The breakfast options were pretty good, but the overall condition of the room was a letdown.

    thrilling rides
    great breakfast
    delicious meal
    dirty floors

    Had an awesome time with friends! We ventured to OWA Amusement & Entertainment for some thrilling rides and then enjoyed a delicious meal at Paula Deen's Family Kitchen. The rooms were comfortable and the breakfast spread was great. Make sure to check out the zoo if you're in the area!

    One downside was the mess in common areas. There was mud along the tile flooring that was quite noticeable, and it remained there for quite a while. A clean facility really makes a difference!

    Comfortable Stay with Friendly Staff

    I enjoyed my one-night stay with an incredibly friendly front desk clerk who made check-in smooth. The foam mattress was a bit high for me, but I managed. Remember to double-check your room features upon arrival to avoid any late-night inconveniences!
