Wipeout
We ended up coming in a day early so we upgraded to a corner ocean view in order to stay in the same room all three nights. Anna at the front desk was great and very helpful. The room however was very disappointing and definitely not worth the extra money! First of all, the bed faced the wrong way, it faced away from the ocean and the view!!! It was so incredibly soft and the lumpiest pillows I’ve ever experienced. The shower is not made for anyone larger than “normal”.

It was quite disappointing. The floor in front of the bathroom was wet. No lotion, only one soap and no shower cap.The only positive thing is the location,so close to the beach.

Not so good.
This hotel has seen better days. Very run down but the location is great. Requested an ocean view room, which I paid for but was begrudgingly given a Room overlooking the roof although the ocean was visible after all the a/c equipment, etc. no, I wouldn’t stay there again.
