We enjoyed this beautiful, historic hotel. It was right downtown and had a beautiful beach and pools on the property. We felt very safe and the staff was excellent. My only issue, and it’s not so much with the hotel as it is with Expedia. I have noticed a pattern in the level of hotel rooms we receive when reserving through Expedia. We had a tiny, odd shaped, corner room that overlooked a roof and parking structure. The last Expedia room was right next to the stair well and the one before that, right next to the noisy elevator. I think I could call the hotel direct next time and get an equally decent rate with a better room.
