Very disappointed!

We paid more than we usually do for a Hotel, but it was near the water so we took it. The Hotel has no air conditioning so it was warm at night. There was a fan so we had that going. Used only a sheet as more was too much. I slept two hours then I was too warm to sleep. I went to sleep at 4:00 am and was awaken at 7:15 with construction going on. A very loud drill and hammering. We paid way too much for this room to be awoken so early. Also, the toilet would run, shut off and start again after a bit. The two chairs facing the fireplace were so hard you couldn’t sit on them. When we told the young Lady at the desk about all this, she didn’t seem to care too much. She said the workers are to start at 8:00. I said they didn’t, it was 7:15. She also added that because we booked with Hotels.com we couldn’t get our money back. We told her we didn’t care we just wanted to leave. I’m sure she didn’t care. I’ll never return to this Hotel again.

Nice place to try once

Great relaxation spot however, no microwave in the room and when I asked staff if I could use their micro they said they didn’t have one. Also, i would've likes a screen door that i couldve enjoyed the fresh ocean air at night.

We enjoyed our stay from check in to check out! Upon arrival the staff was kind and helpful. We loved how clean and cozy our room was and all of the extras that made it feel special- like the drinks/snacks hour in the afternoon and the breakfast delivery to the room. We were celebrating our anniversary and overall had a lovely experience. Definitely recommend staying here! We will be back :)
