Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I appreciated the upfront communication regarding any additional costs, such as valet. All staff was friendly, but I would say the bar staff and valet were exceptional (Adam, you’re a real one). The room was a bit on the smaller side, but I much prefer the long bench with room for storing my suitcase underneath to the drawers you typically see. My room was clean, modern, and it was easy to control the temp. You can hook up your streaming networks and the bed was fantastic. Although, the lighting was hard to figure out and the water pressure was non-existent. Overall, I loved staying in a quiet, clean, comfortable room incredibly close to the beach with effortless parking and a friendly bar scene. The pool was great but I was at the beach most of each day. Definitely would recommend.

Room was very small. No where to put clothes 2 tiny drawers and tiny area to hang clothes. Had to live out of suitcases. Very loud HVAC kept us up all night. Beds are rock hard very uncomfortable. Oddly designed hotel with 4 lounge chairs around the pool. We had to sit on the concrete after swimming. I wouldn’t stay here again.
