I had an excellent stay at the Empress Hotel, situated perfectly across from the beach and near fun local attractions. The pool area was delightful, and I enjoyed the vibrant nightlife with exciting events like Drag Bingo. The friendly and attentive staff made my stay even more enjoyable. While I appreciated the complimentary breakfast on weekends, I feel the dining options could be expanded. Overall, it was a great value for money, with clean accommodations and plenty of amenities.

The pool area was great with plenty of chairs, and the bar service was impressive. I just wish there were a few umbrellas by the pool for shade.

This hotel offers a mix of good and not-so-great experiences. The friendly staff and well-maintained pool area stood out during my stay. However, there were significant issues with the housekeeping and maintenance that detracted from the overall experience. The location is excellent, being close to the beach, but improvements are definitely needed in some areas.

I had a delightful winter getaway at The Woods Campground Event. The staff were incredibly nice and helpful, making our stay enjoyable. The location is perfect for summer visits, but a smoother process for starting tabs at the bar would make things even better.

The rooms were comfortable and clean, but I felt that some areas could use a bit of updating. Overall, the amenities available added to the experience, but there are some improvements needed in housekeeping response times.

I had a lovely stay at the Empress Hotel, which is perfectly situated across from the ocean and close to local attractions. The rooms were impressively clean and modern, making for a comfortable retreat. While the free breakfast was a bit basic and felt processed, the overall experience was enhanced by the lively atmosphere, especially during the Sunday Tea Dance by the pool. I can't wait to return, even if the dining options could be improved a bit.
