8/10 Very good

Our room was very clean & we had a great ocean view. I didn’t like the small patio,(porch )not much room to sit (30 inches). Only one elevator was working most of the time. Jeff is the person who helped us in & out with our luggage & he was very friendly & great. Gave us good tips about the area! 5 star rating for him& that is the kind of people you want working for you!

Lovely stsy

Nice room comfy bed. Odd situation with bathroom sink hot water. It wouldn’t get warm unless shower was also turned on. The girl at reception listened and then said “how odd”. We agreed it was. As we were checking out we don’t know if or how it was resolved
Jacqueline, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great rate, great view!

It was great! I was placed on the second floor over the pool - still ocean view! They were booked so just know you’ll be saving money versus directly booking, but your location in the hotel may be this spot. Everything was easy access!
