Nice But can tell it’s a remodel
Overall pretty good. Front desk employees… ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!! Very professional and sweet. You can tell that it is definitely a remodel hotel… shower was pretty bad and falling apart and definitely had to clean a few things when we got in the room. But… not too bad.

The rooms were attractive and clean. The view from the ocean-side balcony was very nice. The staff was very friendly and approachable.
To make this place a really top-notch destination, a continental breakfast should be included in the price.
