Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Not sure who's at fault, but that shouldn't be my problem. 1st: i reserved a room with an ocean view, nope. I got a great view of all the HVAC units for the building. In addition to seeing them we got to hear them all night long, starting and shutting off. 2nd: i was told parking was avaliable. Anywhere i have stayed in the past description tell you the cost, or that there will be a cost. 75 per day was a little excessive in my view. Staff was polite but abrupe in manner. The bell hop was the nicest of the crew. When it came to getting my car it was lime watching the 3 stuges. No one has a clue whe the other was doing. It took 20 mins to pull the car around the building from the secure lot, that had no fence, and no attendent. Might have had cameras, but i can tell you i walked by my car several times durring my stay.

Huge hotel conveniently located a short walk to the beach. Room was pretty big. Our window overlooked the roof but I'm sure some of the windows have much nicer views! The only complaint really would be the bathtub tap which you had to spin all the way around to use and seemed to be falling off the wall! Restaurant options - cafe, pizza bar, and the other two bars were great and the woman whose name I did not catch was wonderful!

We had constant issues during our weekend stay. Check-in involved a long wait, and when we finally got to our room, it was already occupied. We had to carry our luggage back to the lobby, wait again, and were told it was a mix-up. We were given a new room, but the key cards didn’t work—they hadn’t been activated. After another trip to the lobby, we finally got in, only to find just two towels, so we had to request more. Our friends arrived later and were assigned our original (still occupied) room, despite us having reported the issue. They had to go through the same hassle to get reassigned. At the hotel bar, the live music on Saturday night was enjoyable, but way too loud for the small space. While our husbands had drinks, my friend and I went for water—until we saw mold or algae growing in the dispenser. Clearly, it hadn’t been cleaned. The hotel looks beautiful, but management seriously lacks attention to detail. Room assignments were poorly handled, service was inefficient, and cleanliness was a concern.
