Everything was great, the gentleman at the front desk was very helpful and polite. The only thing I would change was the coffee. The coffee provided was weak. Other than that our week stay was great!

Wrong room but the rest was great.
The hotel was nice and the staff were great! Our only complaint was that we booked a King bed room and were given a room with 2 queen beds. The host said he couldn’t change it because the information sent over from Hotels.com was for 2 Queen beds. I showed him that my confirmation was clearly for a king bed but he couldn’t help us. Not the end of the world. He was super friendly and kind about it.

Exactly what we needed
Good location, near where we needed to be for an event. Close to the beach. Nice, safe area. Plenty of space for our family of 6 and breakfast had a nice variety.
