False advertising. Picture shows ocean view that doesn’t exist. Hotel is inland by10 miles. Breakfast shut down due to audit. An abundance of caution tapes makes you wonder how bad it was inside. Room floor was clean but then you find hair in shower.

Construction prevented use of the pool & access to ice machine on our side of the hotel. Also, no breakfast. No microwave. I apparently reserved our room through Expedia so didn’t get reward points for the two night stay. Location was great, bed was great, quiet room.

The rooms were nice and clean and spacious. Some of the staff were friendly and helpful Others couldn’t speak English and couldn’t help with questions. Amenities list Microwave, but none in the room. Breakfast- but none offered due to construction. (Could have had a sack/to-go breakfast of pastry, fruit and drink to accommodate) Pool and jacuzzi were also closed with caution tape.
