Sandpeddler Inn & Suites
Place was great. I would give 5 stars but AC wasn’t working. Luckily nights were cool so we left the balcony door open. To be fair, we didn’t say anything to the staff until we left but I would ask the staff before booking if this has been fixed. Otherwise, place was perfect

No. The poolside was not comfortable. The chairs are old and the whole hotel needs a refresh.
