Pros +
- everything was very pleasant. Loved being able to check in early when I arrived. Love the way the hotel looked. Loved the pool/ocean view.
- Quiet rooms, great view, great showers.
- We love this place and the renovations. Our favorite aspect is being able to walk down the hall from our room and be right on the beach. The staff are super nice and friendly.
Cons -
- Combative and unhelpful front desk staff, deceiving online pictures of the room I booked, hotel is surprisingly noisy at night due to loud music.
- Was not happy about parking so very far away and not knowing if closer spots in the back of hotel were available until driving back there at night. Broken or peeled up floor board in my room needed repair and the toilet seat was broken.
