Excellent location, vibey lobby lounge and nice restaurants. Avoid room 327 if possible as it is next to the staff room and a giant, noisy fan...we had a hard time getting a good night's sleep.

I loved my experience at this hotel. It was a one night get away for my Mother’s Day present! Beautiful beach view, nice amenities, great bar and restaurant. I got a king room with ocean view. My only complaint, and what’s keeping me from giving 5 stars, is that a few things were broken and or didn’t work properly. The blinds wouldn’t go all the way up (broken) so I couldn’t see the entire beach view from my window because the blinds were stuck halfway up, the fridge door wouldn’t close all the way, the toilet paper holder was broken and tilting off the wall, my tv wouldn’t let me put it on chrome cast (despite the remote giving instructions on how to do so). These are little things that can easily be fixed for little finances by the establishment but make the experience that much better. Thanks!

I would give this place 4 stars except for one important thing. The room looked right at the ocean, I loved the design of the room, check in and out was easy, bed was comfortable. However, in the shower, the shower gel and hair conditioner bottles were empty. I’m all for the refillable bottles but do remember to fill them back up! There I was mid shower with no options. Like I said, nothing awful but important.
