Our stay was “okay” here. I wasn’t too fond of the housekeeping coming every day. The hotel hallways are very dim, and smelly. Our hotel room always had a horrible smell. An engineer had to check out bathroom because there was a leak above our room. The lock to our hotel door stopped working with no explanation. I would not stay here again.

Lets start with the good awesome beach location.Lobby was super nice. Ok the bad.house keeping was horrible didn't come for three days straight sfter asking five times. Now the room we got a oceanfront room with 1 king bed smallest room i ever stayed in in my life, one small dresser for clothes no table except end tables with lamps, which had nine watt bulbs so you couldn't even read. The standing area in the bathroom is 2 feet by 4 feet and the safe wasn't even bolted down.old hotel. Dining was either eating outside ,where it was difficult to get a seat or the extremely expensive spinners where it was difficult to get a seat reservations. And the parking? If your car isn't parked on top by 2 they block all the spots for valet. And you are forced to park underneath which the spots are ridiculously small and tight expect door dings. this place is definitely not even close to my expectations and I'm really not a difficult person. The Hampton inn i stayed at was way better than this place.
