Romantic & fun
They still only have plastic water bottles available in the rooms and lobby
It would be really great if they switched to aluminum, especially since they’re so close to the ocean

Great location for a great stay!
Enjoyed free onsite parking, great customer service, and spacious room. Only set back was loft did not have an air conditioning vent so on a hot day, was difficult to cool. However, staff brought up an oscillating fan to use.

Great view. Great location. Pretty clean.
Excercise equipment not in good shape many were broken and workout room was HOT.
Would stay there again. But for the price I’d expect a bit better kept workout equipment.
