The room was nice but have noise complaints & i wish the front desk would ask their guests when they chevk out. People were slamming their doors early in the morning, kids were screaming & running down the halls. Also, i did not have a "please do not disturb sign" so the housekeeper knocked on my door earlier than i would like. The hotel is nice & good walking distance to different places but it would be helpful to inform families with kids please be respectful to the other guests.

There was sand in my bed sheets. I didn’t get to go to the beach because it was pouring rain, so it wasn’t from us. A few things should be updated such as their toilet seat that has marks on it. Th

Wasted about $100 in food after finding out the freezer and fridge, although on, were NOT working properly. Spoke to staff, who said they would talk to management, and have never heard from anyone. Bad customer service, in my opinion. Sad because it's a great location and quiet property.

Beautiful room. Perfect for staying a couple of days. Fully furnished kitchen and electric stove, microwave, pans, dishes, utensils, the works!! Very clean, friendly but firm rules. The only thing i was taken by surprise was the "continental breakfast" whoch consisted of wrapped donuts, granola bars, and fresh fruit. Worked for me anyways but so looking forward a nice sit down breakfast. I still highly recommend this place. The view is spectacular since it is ocean view. Just loved it❤️
