Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My room and bathroom were spacious, well-appointed, and very clean. I could hear the people in the room above me. But I found my stay mostly quiet, and calm. Very nice. All the staff, but one, were very friendly. The hotel is conveniently located to restaurants, and shopping. It's near the beach, but you, probably, wouldn't walk it. I didn't use the workout room or pool, but they looked lovely, and clean. The breakfast was fine. Lots of choices, good quality foods, well-prepared. All in all, I loved my stay. I would stay, again, for a little respite from home.
