This property had a very nice ocean view that one can enjoy whether from the lobby or on the terrace or on the ground. We were surprised such large property in the suburb did not have self parking, only valet. The hotel lobby is spacious with comfortable furniture for lounging and socializing. The room was clean but not luxurious. Shower pressure was weak and we didn’t care for the scent of the soap and shampoo.
