Smaller rooms than expected, but staff was great. Perhaps more accurate description of the rooms
Pros:

The view was why I booked this hotel, only to find out that the small decks at the property were not available with all rooms, and the one I was in did not have a deck. My view was the parking lot. Room was smaller than anticipated.

The workers at the front desk were WONDERFUL. They were very helpful with recommendations, pleasant and very easy to engage

Cons:

Bigger room and perhaps I misread the information on line about balcony's for each room, but that was not the case and a VERY big disappointment.

It was great.
Pros:

The breakfast was really good.

Cons:

The only thing that would have been better in our room would to have been somewhere to hang our clothes.

Beautiful views! Nice hotel and friendly staff! Offers breakfast.
Pros:

The staff were really friendly, the atmosphere and decorations were welcoming. The view from the room was amazing! Breakfast was included. It was very easy to check in and check out. I would stay here again!

Cons:

The lock on the balcony glass door didn’t lock. It would turn as if it locked, but the latch didn’t catch.
