Had a side view of the skyline from the balcony but unable to see the ocean. Nice balcony with view of the grassy open courtyard. We had a nice clean updated room on the second floor. The only negative for us was that the cleaning crew did not clean the spider webs on the corners of the ceiling. Otherwise, it was a pleasant stay and experience and would definitely consider this place again on future visits.

The hot tub and pool were great. Rooms were clean. Staff was mixed. The man at the desk didn't care, wouldn't even look at me when i talked to him and had an attitude. The lady at the desk was really nice and helpful. No extra towels by the pool and none available at the desk. Rooms make noise and you can hear others in their rooms. The put a family with kids on a top floor, which is just dumb.

The hot tub was hot and the pool was clean. The walls are so thin, it sounded like the people above us were bowling in their room when handling their suitcases. We could hear the tv next door.
