Room with a view
Pros:

Check in a was fast and easy. View was nice of the pool and harbor.

Cons:

Room had a smell that was likely caused by the carpet. Parking was full but we got over flow parking which was closer to our room.

Our stay would’ve been better if the sheets would’ve been clean I didn’t get bug bites and I could breathe fresh air. Un
Pros:

Gorgeous beach and Harbor views

Cons:

Although the beds were comfortable, the sheets were dirty and I got some pretty serious bug bites probably a spider or two. Also, there were a lot of people smoking in the little alcove area that was supposed to be a comfortable balcony for us. We couldn’t even open our sliding glass door into the bedroom for that fresh sea air everybody loves to feel when they visit the beach. That was very disappointing. We were inundated by cigarette smoke. 😢

Pros:

easy check in, and that they changed our room without any issue, when the first room we got smelt like someone had just cooked in the room.

Cons:

the mix crowd we saw at the breakfast room, seemed like a backpackers or being at a community housing solution. Feels like some of the people at the hotel live there. seemed as a housing solution for retirees
