Great Stay
Our stay was good. It was easy to check in and get our baggage to the room. The hotel was clean and pretty quiet. It was a great location despite not being as close to the beach as we thought but still pretty centralized. Our only complaints was the room temperature. The ac was too cold at 71 but too hot at 72. We had a challenge changing the temperature initially but we were able to figure it out. The second thing was there wasn’t enough ventilation in the bathroom. The fan didn’t stay on and there are no windows that opened in the room so the room was pretty stuffy after a shower. Lastly, the parking fee was excessive. There were no street parking options so you are forced to pay the $15 a day.

We liked the location of the hotel, staff were helpful and friendly. The complimentary breakfast buffet was awesome, good options for everyone. I was very impressed with the choices. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. The big negative thing was the very noisy air conditioner which we couldn’t leave on at night. It was so noisy.
