Misleading advertising on ocean front view hotel
Pros:

Room was pretty clean. Food was okay

Cons:

I was mislead by you alls advertisement. I wanted an ocean front room. I got a room faced the city and not the ocean. This has never happened to me before and I have stayed ocean front a fire times in my life. Definitely disappointed with the view of the room. Nobody books an ocean front room with the intentions of facing the city.
