Don’t expect a ‘real’ sea view

Biggest disappointment was the sliver of ‘sea view’. The company has now built a new building in front of the original hotel almost completely blocking the sea view. You should amend your description.

Love this hotel. The only bummer was not being given the room we paid for. Thankfully they rectified the issue even though it seemed like they didn’t want to.

Convenient

The hotel was in a great location and convenient. The room was updated but for some reason the door wouldn’t open very far because it was stuck on the tile. The check in staff wasn’t very friendly, but at check out the other staff was very helpful. Parking at the hotel was pretty exorbitant but convenient.

We checked in and the room we booked felt like a dark closet. I immediately called the front desk and asked for an upgrade. We paid the difference and were very happy with our ocean front room. I would have been very disappointed if we had to stay in the first room.
