8/10 Good
"Clean room but small. Some hallways recently upgraded. Other area still need a face-lift. Nice pool and grounds with lots of lounge chairs around pool and around the property. Nice balcony. On site restaurant/brewery. Food was good but not great. Other options within walking distance. Beach was very large and beautiful. Staff was friendly. Parking garage on site was very convenient."

"Stayed here last year and was excellent! This year was not quite as good. Did not get the room we thought we booked. When a description says deluxe ocean view, you think you are getting on the ocean or 1-2 rooms down side of building.from ocean. Our room was 4 from the ocean and on 2nd floor directly above the pool so could not hear waves but heard the water regenerating from the pool. I think that should be better described in the room description. Also, the hotel is under renovation so even being on the 2nd floor (they were working on the 12th floor) you can hear what sounds like jack hammers all the way down to the second floor 9:00-5:00 Monday through Friday."
