Liked: Staff & service
The first room we were placed in faced a parking lot, we were moved to a room on the 3rd floor that was ADA and felt musty and old, the bathroom needed a DEEP cleaning, there was trash/room service food left outside of doors way too long, felt like they were understaffed.

Potential for 5 stars

Overall an enjoyable stay. 4 stars. Would’ve been 5 if room was a bit more updated and there wasn’t a long wait for valet. Friendly staff and great location. Complimentary bicycles were awesome!

5 star service from the staff! Chandler's restaurant had the most amazing truffle fries- delicious! The Corner King Suite was perfect for watching the sunset! The 2 room suite was well appointed and spacious. The bathroom was very large with a tremendous soaking tub with all the amenities. Book the King Suite and treat yourself!
Sunset from the corner suite - no better place to be!

A Nice Relaxing Stay

We had a nice time.. Hotel grounds were smaller than the picture showed. Our room with ocean view had busy traffic just below so it wasn’t pleasant noise wise with balcony or leaving room patio door open. The staff .. for pool grounds and restaurant were a 5 star!! Happy hour from 4-6:00each day was great.

Ocean view! This hotel was top notch! We had an ocean front room which was amazing! We love the beach and that was our reason for booking. The beach his right across the street and it was really fun to be able to walk across the street and be at the beach! We enjoyed the entire day there and then enjoyed the pool the stray of the day. The pool was lovely. It has an ocean viiew and is large. There are toys for the kids to play with . The best part is that they are free. My daughter played in the pool for hours ! The staff is excellent. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful.!we had a few minor issues and the staff was all responsive.
