Poor
Pros:

The room was clean

Cons:

We had to go to a restaurant for breakfast. No breakfast room in this hotel. Never expect much in a hotel breakfast but this one was a big disappointment. They only had powdered creamer for coffee, no creamers. We will never stay here again. Breakfast selections were beyond poor.

Pros:

The bed was very comfortable

Cons:

I wasn’t there for long so not really applicable.
I was in at about 6:30 and left at 5am the next day. There wasn’t anyone at the desk so I left my key on the staff counter as I left

Was a great central location to explore the area and downtown dining with quite and comfortable room
Pros:

Our third floor balcony room was ideal for view and relaxation. Was disappointed that breakfast was a boxed breakfast that you ordered the day before. While adequate, I prefer a breakfast buffet with warm options. The beach was clean and well maintained.

Cons:

Was not aware that housekeeping was on a bi-daily basis. Should have some signage in the room to indicate that.

Except for the breakfast choice, I would definitely enjoy another stay at this place.
Pros:

Room selection was on the first floor facing the beach. The view was spectacular and it was great to be able to walk outside your room and the beach was right there.

Cons:

The breakfast selections. It was nice to eat the meal at your own leisure but I still prefer a sit-down meal in the morning. Also, this actually felt like a fast food meal and not a hotel meal.
