Ocean view room was nice with a patio. The draw back was the busy road between us and the beach. Breakfast was part of the room. First morning it wasn’t ready at opening time. Sausage was cooked but gray, only hard boiled eggs, and had to ask the attendant to make a waffle and give you utensils.

Room and facilities spotless. Pool looked nice. All of staff was friendly. Nice to have breakfast available. The room had wet carpeting and it was difficult to adjust the air....blew really hard or not at all. All pillows were same size, overstuffed, so hard to get comfortable. Toilet paper and tissues were very thin and rough.

The ease to the beach is great and the ocean view from our room was excellent. Sitting on the patio deck and listening to the ocean is awesome. The fridge in the room is extremely noisy and needs replaced. Hooks to hang your clothes on by the tub/shower would be a nice touch. There should be a mirror to use when you drive into the underground parking to ensure that the gate has been lifted before driving forward.The continental breakfast needs to be overhauled. Not appetizing and the only bread offered was raisin bread.
