The hotel is only a short drive to the beach at Surfside and their are plenty of dining options within a short drive also. As far as the room went the door was hard to open and shut, the in room coffee maker didn't work and we had no maid service for the 3 nights we were there and had to go to the front desk for towels, washcloths, toilet paper and trash bags so we could take out the trash, also the pool parties were until 2 a.m. and very loud!
