Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
My partial ocean view was obstructed by a lull that was being used at 7am and parked at night. When I wanted to open the balcony door a sign notified me we can't keep the door open. When I wanted to sit on the beach it was an additional charge for a chair. If I wanted to smoke I would have to go in the corner of the parking garage. Pool is open dawn to dusk, dusk was at 6pm. Room was small. I felt like I was at my mother in laws house. Staff was nice, property clean but I wish I stayed next door at the Hampton Inn.
