The oceanview room was great. The room was clean and the bathroom had plenty of towels and toiletries. The king size bed was a little lumpy but did not interrupt rest. The staff was great also. Easy access to restaurants. The in room coffee maker did not work.

We enjoyed the Lite-fare snack place that had views of the ocean. Good food, kind staff. The 2-Queen room was a bit larger than an average room.

I asked for an upgrade and they told me no. When to find out the people behind me asked for and upgrade and they received it. I also asked them to move me to another room because my door would not securely close like the rest of the doors and I told her I didn’t feel safe and they would not move me so we had to sleep with a cart against the door and a chair for safety. Loud not from construction woke us up outside the balcony

Thank you for your review. We reached out to the hotel and verified that there were no upgrades for a King room on May 1st. The hotel has alerts posted on the webpage, at the registration desk, and in the guest rooms about the exterior construction.

The only saving grace is it is right on the beach. The rooms were horrible. We had a ocean front room with balcony and whirlpool. The whirlpool had mold around the jets and was unusable. The “balcony” is about 18 inches wide. You can put a chair on it sideways but not looking straight out towards the ocean. Forget about sitting out there with you SO with a cup of coffee watching the waves. Speaking of the view, we had a wonderful view of the movable platform the contractors used while replacing caulking on the sliding doors. We complained about it as soon as we got there but they had no other options available that night. The next day they said they had another room available and would let us know when we could move. Said it should be about 15 minutes. After a hour I called the front desk and gave my cell number so we could go out to the beach. About 30 minutes later they called us to move. Went to the second room but, there were people staying there already. Back to the front desk where they gave us another room. This was on the eigth floor so we had a nice view for the evening. We were woken up in the morning as the contractors were working on the floor above us using grinders. I guess they were cutting out the old caulking but the smell and sound was horrible. And our nice view turned into the lower bodies of contractors. I’m not going to get into the cold breakfast buffet empty waffle mix. Even the free cookies were burnt. It was the worst hotel experience of my life.

Valerie was awesome at check in. During the first nights stay we encountered bedbugs. The manager on duty wasn’t to concern about and her first option was that we could leave the hotel. Leaving wasn’t really an option. We did switch rooms, however, it pretty much ruined the trip for us.

Had only one elevator operating and it was really annoying getting up and down to your room. It was people waiting as long as twenty minutes. Everyone is not able to take the stairs. With all the guest that was there that could be a fire hazard.

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, there was an issue with one of the elevators and we are currently waiting for the repair company to come and fix the issue. There was never a 20-minute wait as the front desk agents were allowing guests to use the service elevator. Thank you again and we appreciate your understanding.

The beach was nearby and that was a big plus! Also we paid 172.00 a night and breakfast was not free. There should have been complimentary breakfast. Also people cleaning windows near the room which was not good. Also the elevators were not working. Other than that everything was good and we are planning to come back.

Unfortunately, the information provided is inaccurate. It was another member of our management team that offered to move you to another room. You declined stating that you should not have to be inconvenienced due to anther guest's barking dog. She apologized again and offered the breakfast vouchers. The manager did in fact apologize to you. He came out while you were "talking very loudly" to the front desk agent. He waited several minutes after he apologized unfortunately to see what he could do to make it right for you. When the conversation with Melissa did not stop, he stated he was going in the back to print off Dinner Vouchers as you stated that you were leaving at 530am (not 500am as stated in these comments). When I returned to the desk, you were already in the elevator still being heard in the lobby. That is when you were addressed in Kipsu. It was during another conversation that you had with Melissa when you stated that yeo just wanted some money off your room. There was no hesitation, it was just done.Kim Moore Room 910 02/26/24 - 02/28/24 Departing TodayBlock Opt Out EditConfirmation #: 96530740location SMSText Messaging- LessJessica P: Welcome, Kim.

The overall experience was enjoyable; however, a drawback was the unexpected fishing restriction on the pier, especially considering the pier on the property was a factor for me choosing this location. Prior knowledge of this restriction would have spared me from bringing unnecessary fishing gear. Nevertheless, I had a positive experience and intend to return in the future.
