Our room wasn’t ready on arrival, but other guests could check-in. A/C (loud) had to run all night to keep vaguely cool. Beds were super soft and uncomfortable. In hindsight, I should have booked a hotel away from the ocean for a better experience at the same price point

walking distance to the beach. It is true there is ocean view, but there is a street in front of you first. The bed was comfortable and the room clean. I liked the new shower style. I was disappointed with the pool location right on the sidewalk in plain view from foot and car traffic right there. No privacy at all. I could not get myself to use the pool that way; so disappointing when I had been looking forward to it. Next time I will choose another location.

I am handycapped. I ordered through Expedia a handycapped room and another standard for my family next door. I did not get an Handycapped room but it did wor k. My family was upstairs. The parking lot was a dangerous. To get to the room I had to get over two high curbs. The office staff was not at all helpful. They very unhelpfull. the room itself was great as was the housekeeping.
