"The place was right on the beach and we received a room with a "partial ocean view" which was exactly what I had asked for. There was some construction happening on the property which made it feel a little cluttered but it did not affect the mood of the staff or the people staying at the hotel. We had an amazing time and enjoyed the location, and the staff. It was far enough away from downtown that we did"
