Staff shortage waited over 45 min to check in and check out. No final email reciept yet

A reasonably priced art deco hotel in a popular tourist area. Hotel and rooms are stylishly designed. Restaurant food was ok. Maria was a fabulous server. On the downside, there is no pool or fitness center.

Comfortable and a solid location.

Overall stay was good. Came back after an excellent experience a year ago. Complimentary bikes were great and food was good. Oceanfront balcony room was a great view, clean and reasonably appointed. Was a bit disappointed this time around in some minor things. Service at the pool was not nearly as quick, and very inconsistent. Music from La Cote and the Arkadia area was terribly loud - and competed in terms of genre. Just noisy. There was also an event on the last day of our stay that basically shut down 75% of the pool area. We were not informed and it caused confusion and a tremendous lack of space in the largest public area of the resort. This would have been good information to have so we could plan accordingly.
