I WAS CHARGED TWICE FOR PARKING THAT I'M DISPUTING!!! AND it would have been nice if, on the advertising/small print if they put a $$$ next to amount you have to pay for parking or any other amenity, it's misleading not having a $$$ in the description/optional extras AND I SEE CHARGES OR UNEXPLAINED CHARGES ON MY DEBIT. I was never given a print out/receipt.

Overall staff was amazing! Very attentive and kind. Property on Suite building was being renovated on the outside currently but its understandable. The main building hosts a pool with jacuzzi, a restaurant with a bar, a courtyard with a fountain. It is an amazingly beautiful hotel. They also have laundry services on site.for $4 per load. The rooms specifically the jr suite was amazing. The bed was superb, a jet bath, a couch with pull out bed. The over all experience was fantastic! Would definitely stay again.

This was a wonderfully pleasant stay. We loved the happy hour food and drinks as well as the menu at the restaurant. The bar is also great. We loved the pillow menu on the bed and comfortable bedding. The coffee in the morning was a great addition. I walked across the street for a pedicure which was great. We even snagged taco bell when my husband had a jones for a burrito. All very close and easy to get to the beaches and shopping.
