First and last time at this hotel
Pros:

The main advantage of the hotel is its location. Room was spacious

Cons:

It seems that that the management is trying to cut costs. Showe towel had big hole, mirror at bathroom worn out, no dining room for breakfast, got a box with some staff. Not very apetizing and arrived to our room 30 minute late and after repeated phones to front desk. There are 3 buildings but none has signs so we had to wander around in order to locate our.

Best complete package
Pros:

1. Best overall facilities and total experience over the course of our 7 day/6 venue trip. My wife's favorite place.
2. Balcony opened to the beach, which was only ~60 yds. to the water. Even had an excellent sunset view.
3. Staff seemed very well prepared and organized.
4. Solid accessibility options.
5. Full set of room amenities... even guest laundry.

Cons:

1. something out of their control: the construction and traffic on the main drag can make it difficult to exit -- especially when turning left (Eastbound).
2. minor point: breakfast options. While room delivery is nice, there's limited set of available options and that may not work well for young families.

Pros:

Perfect location!
Pros:

The location was great being right on the water. We had the first floor which had a doorway that goes out onto a patio, and a nice beach area.
The hotel was very clean, everyone very friendly.
We used the hot tub/pool.
In the morning they will drop off a boxed continental breakfast for you. Coffee stand in the lobby, it’s was great visit!

Cons:

Being an indoor pool and cannot be warmed from the sun, the pool temperature could be higher to make it more comfortable.
