Pros +
- I liked the location and the convenience of the beach access
- I love being next door to the pier and being able to walk over for breakfast. The room had been refurbished since I’d last stayed there and was really nice. Also the room was very clean.
- Location and price
Cons -
- Parking is horrendous, size of bathroom, tv didn’t work
- I hate the outsourced kiosk in the lobby. You really need someone staffing the lobby. Also, I love the pool but there are always people sitting around smoking at the pool. I wish you could make that a no smoking area. Also there were people in the pool with babies in diapers. I thought that was unsanitary. Should definitely be against the rules….
- Not the nicest hotel but it was fine
