Below average this time ; unusual but true.
Pros:

The facility and loc action were great as we hav stayed here a number of times.

Cons:

No cleaning of the room so we went to the desk and had to ask for more clean towels ......room not cleaned and at $500/nite ----not nearly as good of a stay as in past years .

Excellent location on Ocean Ave. - close to everything and large room.
Pros:

Originally assigned and checked in to room 31... it was a King bed with a patio but no view other than the cement walls around the patio, and it sort of felt like a basement room. We slept there one night then asked if something else was available and to our delight we were offered room 43, with two queen beds and a balcony on Ocean Avenue - excellent! Some may not like the sound of cars driving by etc, but we like it and it didn't go late into the night. I think downtown shuts down early.
Nice offering of pastries, fresh fruit, snacks and coffee every morning.

Cons:

We stayed 4 nights and don't usually request housekeeping but on the 3rd day we needed new towels, toilet paper, etc. So we put the 'please service' tag on the door but came in from a day out to find no services had been done. I asked the next morning and was told our length of stay didn't qualify for freshening up. Not a huge problem as I requested fresh towels from the front desk with no problem... just fyi if you like daily service.

Pros:

I liked the place , the facility is clean, organized and well maintained.
It's a bit tough that you need to climb stairs to get to your room . All the other things were amazing.
