"Big comfortable hotel. Everything was good, nothing special except the wonderful beach views it offers. The location is something of a hike from downtown. Do be aware if you book a balcony and want fresh air in your room. People use their balconies to smoke, so you may end up with a room smelling of smoke."

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was beautiful overlooking the ocean. When we registered the receptionist was a bit short with us . We checked in earlier than expected instead of the usual 3:00 pm. The room they provided us on the 3 rd floor overlooking ocean had a odd odor. We addressed this issue with reception and maintenance provided a service. The odor was fowl and we addressed this matter with reception and the provided us with an upgraded room . We had a wonderful time and the staff were very nice and helpful."
