I reserved a balcony room and was given a 1st floor pool side room. The room was also an ADA room with no bathtub. If we had not arrived so late after 15 hours of travel I would have complained right then. Next to the Laundry room which apparently was getting remodeled with workers first thing in the morning.

I thought the staff was outstanding and they went above and beyond in their customer service. Texting us, helping us at breakfast, housekeeping finding a lost item and returning it to us. I could tell they were updating the hotel as well. We were very happy with our stay and definitely recommend it.

Property is still under construction so there is jack hammering and scaffolding and elevators being blocked off to transport construction equipment, Ave debri and dust, but we made due. Not horrible but not ideal either. The room was clean and I'm always thankful for the convenience of having a microwave and refrigerator in the room. The hotel staff were very helpful and kind. The restaurant staff were not very welcoming. The pool area was very nice. I was most surprised that the room doors open to outside similar to a typical motel. Great location right on the Seawall across from the beach and restaurants. Not sure that I'd stay here again until after construction is complete.
