"We really enjoyed out time at this hotel. We had a room with a great balcony and view of the beach and the ocean. Very relaxing and enjoyable time. If I had a couple minor complaints, it would be: 1.) the Wifi is terrible. I had to use my phone instead. Fortunately I have unlimited data on my phone, but if that were not true it might have been an issue, 2.) the coffee in the lobby is not good. Coffee pods in the rooms are better, but they don't give you enough, and (like many hotels) they don't give you enough water bottles. We had to bring our own. Otherwise, great stay. We will likely be back!"
