The hotel was OK, the rooms have been updated, but still lack simple things (places to hang wet towels, shelves in the shower). Our reservation was for four people and every time they made up the room they would only leave 3 bath towels and we would have to request another. When we first got to the room we found a used bandaid on the floor, and the bedding on the pull-out sofa had not been changed. The mattress on the pull-out sofa was almost none existent, mainly just springs and a thin layer of fabric left. For a room of the size to only offer two double beds or one king bed is ridiculous. Lastly, it really just feels like this hotel is “mailing it in”, because it is clearly the best of limited options in the area. For the price not worth it.

Beautiful property on the water, clean, very modern/updated, amazing staff, easy check-in, wonderful room, convenient distance to shopping and dining! The room view was spectacular - the sunset was a sight to behold from the 7th floor. Sunset boardwalk is a must!! This hotel is definitely on our top 5 fav list! We will definitely be back!
