The property location is the best. Beautiful ocean view, loads of fun things to do. The inns beds are soft and relaxing. The design of the inn is beautiful. You are surrounded by overpriced restaurants FYI. Some upgrades like a microwave in the room should be a must. Only 2 vending machines for such a big property is a no. Front desk should have a walk-in pantry for customers to buy things, 24hr lobby hello. If you enjoy being across the street from the beach this is the place to be.

The asst manager on duty - Jason - did his good job understanding how taking care customer complain with the solution . And the receptionist on duty when I check out - sorry I forgot his name - very friendly and he called me to let me know we had stuffs belonging left in our room - and the bell boys they are very kinds and friendly . Some concerns need to improves : the worker - cleaning services need to teaineee to be more friendly when meet the customer - like other hotel - and on the booking confirmation must to mentioned which building their confirmation room - on the south , west or north building . So didn’t have any misunderstanding of the customer expectation due to north and west are but further from the ocean and swimming pool like the south / main building .

This property has a great location - close to many restaurants and just across the street from the beach and its great biking/walking path. I did have one complaint I shared at checkout. The mattress in my room should have been retired a long time ago. It was so saggy and it was difficult to sleep on.
