Great location

We called ahead to request an early check in, staff suggested coming in to do paperwork & they would be able to assist with an early check in, but could not guarantee. Followed suggestion, went & grabbed lunch & got our room a couple hours early. Room was clean & had a beautiful view. LOVED the balcony & ocean view. Staff is super helpful. Property is in a great location. Parking is great, you do pay for it. Elevator is slow. Will certainly stay here again.
