The hotel is nice; however, the main issue is that you don’t always get the room you selected on Expedia. Regardless of the room you reserve and pay for, the hotel may reassign you to a different one based on availability, without notifying you in advance — simply because you made the reservation through Expedia and not directly on the hotel’s website.

They had several free dining opportunities. Breakfast was croissants, juice, coffee and fruit. Afternoon was chips and salsa beer. Happy hour was charcuterie tray and wine, after dinner was pie and ice cream. These were all delicious. The hotel is older and several upgrades could be made. Furniture is very old and scratched. Too much furniture for such a small room. Stand alone air conditioner very noisy. Large refrigerator, electric stove and dishwasher were not necessary for us. There are convenient eateries within walking distance. Shower door would not close properly and a few light bulbs needed to be replaced. We were near the beach and view from our balcony was asphalt parking structure. This was our first time and probably our last.
