Clean room. Great location! Staff were all very kind. Only downfall was the lowest setting for the ac in the room was 68 degrees, im accustomed to it being cooler at night but that's my personal preference/battle. All things considered, Would absolutely recommend!

We didn't get the beachfront room that we thought that we were getting. The room was nice though. We also didn't realize that there is a 20 dollar a day parking fee until we checked in and also a 40 dollar security hold. Those extra fees will keep us from booking with the Commander again.
