We didn’t get our room until 5pm, when check in time was 4. Although,We did get a voucher for the restaurant. Once we were in our room, the room did match the picture. The view was underwhelming for the price we paid. We also found ants on our bed and in the bathroom area. Very disappointing

Disliked: Amenities
while the welcome drink was a nice touch, the hotel is located in a lower area with many stairs, which made carrying luggage quite challenging. The loading zone was small, so loading and unloading was inconvenient. Note this hotel does not have elevators so be aware of this when you travel with elderly family members or friends.

Clean room, very nice and comfortable. Such friendly staff too! I am quite content to be here! We have an ocean view, but we arrived at night so I have yet to see what kind of ocean view it is. I’ve been in many ocean-view rooms, I hope this room does not disappoint when I check in the morning.

As I indicated in m y email to Expedia, I was charged for resort fee, county and state fee and taxes when my Expedia purchase clearly stated that "what you see is wht you get". Additionally my room did not have a fireplace as I had paid for. The parking was on an uphill deadend street, the only way out was to bakck up down a hilly street making it hazardous.
