Loved the ocean view. Staff was generally awesome. Did not appreciate looking everywhere to start the hot tub, getting into the hot tub to see if motion activated, then going up a floor to the lobby to learn that management has to come down to turn it on. I can imagine parking and unloading luggage in the summer season to be nearly impossible, but I'm April it was easy.

This was our first time at this hotel. We all really liked it. The staff was very nice and helpful. All areas of the hotel was clean and didn't smell like a moist basement or like pot. The rooms were very nice and big. We would go back and stay there again.

The manager “ Kiana” went the extra mile to make my stay the best ever . I’ve built a lot of military and private hotels during my career. She is organized , apparently demands nothing but the best from her team ,and it shows . Cleanest room , hallways lobby I’ve ever seen . I guess what I’m trying to say is Kinana deserves at little acknowledgement . Thanks Dennis Verbeek
