Bayview Tower
The room was very clean and well appointed. The elevator was quick. We never waited for long. The breakfast was excellent and sustained us for much of the day. The location was superb. The beach was in front and a good selection of bars and eateries were all within walking distance.

Empire Apartment Hotel
Disappointed on check in that the card was not assigned correctly and we could not get in to the room and had to go back to reception to have this corrected. I think could have been handled more professionally like she'll assign new cards and bring them up..

Coral Inn Boutique Motel
Graham was exceptionally helpful and the room was very clean. Although there was only one blanket for the single bed and none for our bed. Rooms were a little small, but was only there two nights. Just a little suggestion on the breakfast, as adults would prefer different cereals.
