The property is under renovation but it's not disclosed either to Expedia or on their website. The rooms, despite the beautiful ocean view, are severely overpriced; the rooms are outdated, small and dark inside. The pictures of property are misleading in that they give the false impression that the hotel is beautiful. The hotel restaurant food and service, however, were excellent! Marley, the server, is super nice and friendly!

GUESTS BEWARE!
HOTEL DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THE PHOTOS! We decided to do a quick trip last minute to go see the aquarium, upon arriving at this hotel the entire hotel had tarps and scaffolding all around it which was not disclosed ahead of time! The room was dirty and the furniture was scuffed and paint was chipping off walls it truly reminded me of staying in a trucker motel! The only good thing was the view was nice but there was some sort of wire hanging off the above floor down by our balcony. My kids were even scared to stay here because of how dirty and run down the place was. They charged us a random $73 with no notice or receipt and I can not get an explanation from anyone as to why, we didn’t even use the showers or anything. There was trash from previous guests still in the room and cirgarette smells coming from next door. After sleeping in the bed my son woke up with a huge rash all over his face, we definitely will not be returning to this hotel. I did attempt to reach out before leaving a review and their customer service was so terrible that I ended up just hanging up.
