Ocean View Room

Our stay was comfortable in renovated king ocean view room. It was quiet, and clean. It's a view of the Marina, more so than the ocean, but still pretty. Check in was slow, our room wasn't ready although they claim "guarantee" check in by 4pm. The staff seem overwhelmed by the guests. The hotel lobby bathroom was out of order. All that being said, we'd stay here again.
