Alexis, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

I want to start out by saying, the staff was excellent. The hotel, although renovated, had a clogged sink, you could hear the noise of other guests and cleaning staff through the walls, the coffee maker did not work, and we paid extra for an ocean view, but it was more of a glimpse. The front desk and manager agreed it was not a full ocean view and did not charge us for parking.

Loved the beachfront location and ability to use the property’s bikes to explore the local area. The room was comfortable and had plenty of space for our one night stay. We only used one pool area but found it clean and warm. Really lovely stay and would definitely return!
