lso housekeeping only comes every other day. Trash piles up very quickly, being that the 3 waste baskets in the room are only 8x8 inches, And if you are only going to clean the rooms every other day, you should let the guest know at check in and supply the room with more towels

It was an ideal location. Loved being on the beach and having a pool and other lounge places to sit. It was upscale, but not too upscale. Close to lots of things. Parking was a bit tight, but you do what you can do with what you have. Rooms were a bit tight and took us a bit to figure out where to put our stuff. You can't really make them bigger at this point. Not a deal breaker. Bathroom could have more space for toiletries and towels. Our door shut hard and we think we didn't have it shut tight the first night. I wish the maids came in every day and stocked up at least. I had to call for things a few times also after they were in the room, we sometimes had less. It was like I had two rolls of toilet paper when we got there and when I was low and asked for more, we didn't get extra and I had to call. Needed more hand towels a few times, I like a clean one every day. Washcloths were not stocked and I had one for 2 people for our two more day stay. Garbage cans are small. If they emptied them every day, not big deal, but we filled ours up in one day every day. I know we can call for things that we need, but we are on vacation and on the run. Not time for that and sometimes when I called, no one would answer. Then I'm left having to worry about remembering to call for toilet paper so we don't run out. Not what I want to think about when down on the beach. All in all, we had a good stay.

We've been coming to this property since 2012 when it was Grand Plaza Hotel even stayed at the Penthouse once. We liked the design updates but were disappointed with the last room we stayed in, it was too small/tight. The room we stayed in was by front of hotel and it was too noisy with loud guests outside. We hope next time we get a beach view!

Hi Marilyn, thank you for sharing about your recent stay. While I’m glad to see a familiar face, I’m disheartened this visit did not meet your expectations. We work hard to ensure every guest enjoys a relaxing environment and understand the frustrations unwanted noise can cause. Rest assured, your feedback will be shared with our leadership team to better enhance the guest experience. See you again soon!
