    great place to stay

    • Queen Room with Balcony
    • Stayed 2 nights

    front desk has no phone, no way to call them directly, only to call center. they almost make you download their app where you have to register, create account, give all your info, credit card info, upload your id for verification.. unacceptable for me. also there is no microwave in the room, but there are couple in the lounge area.

    friendly staff, clean and good size rooms and bathrooms. has lounge, storage area, great location.

    Housekeeping fell short. We were there for 4 days. We didn’t once have our towels changed out. We ran out of coffee and toilet paper, our garbages were overflowing. The shower took forever to warm up. Our TV was also a bit sketchy, it would turn itself on and off and flick through channels at random hours. We ended up unplugging it.

    Location was incredible!! Just a short little walk to the beach. The app was so useful, it gave tips of nearby things to check out.

    No table in the room to eat on or microwave, you had to go to lobby, no furniture on the balcony either. Pool was dirty all the time, I didn’t want to go in it or sit around the pool lounge area, it was dirty and had food everywhere, on the seats, floor, pool.

    The view from balcony was great. The staff were kind and I always felt safe at the location.

    There wasnt always staff around. Our room was not ready on time and that was after being told the day before that our early check in had been denied. It wasnt even ready for our normal check in after they promised to prioritize our room. Then the keypad wasnt working at first and they dont have normal keys. Also access to towels was limited. Oh and the fitted sheets on the bed were way annoying. They came off every time wed lay down. Also the parking lot is a nightmare.

    Proximity to the beach. Pool was nice ish.

    The kludgy registration and check-in process. My wife spent more than an hour on the phone with your representative in order to complete registration process. The traditional way is much better and user friendly.

    Not necessarily that I didn't like it but it does take some getting used to is the main reliance on the app to check in and out. It's easy to this is how most hotels will operate in the future and I know people like my parents that feel technology hates them will have a harder time adjusting to this style. But the front desk workers were great answering further questions.

    location was great, close to beach. I like how the towels are easy to get among other things. I didn't have issues with parking like others apparently had.
