The room was clean, the beds were decent. The breakfast was very underwhelming, and apparently, it will be even worse starting 11/11. Though I didn't expect an ocean view because I didn't pay for it, I did not expect our patio to just back up into a bunch of air conditioners running from the building inches from the patio. The worst was that our keys were turned off by 10:30, when check out is not until 11:00. My kid was walking the beach and couldn't get back in with their key. Thankfully I didn't go with them or we would have both been locked out. At least give us the full amount of time in our room.

HORRIBLE Beds!!!!

everything was great except the bed was the most uncomfortable bed EVER!!! its been over a week now and Im still in pain from sleeping on it. also I mentioned I was a wheelchair user. there werent any accessible rooms, so I grabbed a regular one. my chair wouldnt fit thru the door. ONE parking spot left and I could hardly get out of my car and couldnt use my wheelchair to get around the car to get to my room. which was upstairs, thankfully there is an elevator. I really want to love this hotel, but this is the 2nd time Ive had parking problems AND bed issues. the hot tub was glorious tho.

The staff was wonderful. The location is just perfect. I was surprise of the loud noise of motorcycles passing by. In all honesty, the room was not comfortable. As soon we walked into the room, it smelled liked dirty socks, the shower had an annoying drip and you can hear it all night. Lastly, the bed wasn't comfortable at all, also, we never had housekeeping service our room.
