I wish they would have informed me that I had an adjoining room attached my room. I do not feel comfortable with the joining doors in my room management should let everybody know us know in advance.

Great place but rude awakenings
We went for our daughter’s 16th birthday and everything was great! The room, the space, the distance to the beach, everything you could ever need was in walking distance. The only thing that was annoying, but not the hotel’s fault at all, was the garbage truck emptying out the dumpsters from the bars EVERY MORNING before 8am. (We were there Friday to Monday) That sucked! But like I said, it had nothing to do with the hotel.
