The hotel was very run down and the condition took us by surprise. That said, we suspect you are paying for a great location because there are a ton of activities and restaurant options. Additionally, the staff was super nice and accommodating.

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.
