Room and facilities spotless. Pool looked nice. All of staff was friendly. Nice to have breakfast available. The room had wet carpeting and it was difficult to adjust the air....blew really hard or not at all. All pillows were same size, overstuffed, so hard to get comfortable. Toilet paper and tissues were very thin and rough.

Location, location, location. A very easy hop across the street to the beautiful beach. Parking was easy. Pool and hot tub area was nice. Rooms are a little musty but that's expected near the coast & pool. So nice they had chaos to borrow.

The ease to the beach is great and the ocean view from our room was excellent. Sitting on the patio deck and listening to the ocean is awesome. The fridge in the room is extremely noisy and needs replaced. Hooks to hang your clothes on by the tub/shower would be a nice touch. There should be a mirror to use when you drive into the underground parking to ensure that the gate has been lifted before driving forward.The continental breakfast needs to be overhauled. Not appetizing and the only bread offered was raisin bread.

We did not have an enjoyable time.The front desk was very unprofessional, and not one smile. Beat you was good except for the exceptionally large amount of traffic constantly going by with horns.Beeping and loud motorcycles. Then, on Saturday. The eighteenth there was a large protest with thousands of people in front of our room, including the entire hotel.The staff should have called us.They knew months in advance that this was going to happen.And should have gave us the option of maybe a room with a pool view, or I would have decided to go to a much quieter destination. The housekeeping staff was the best of the stay. The women always had nice smiles on their face. And did the best they could to cleanup a room that needs a lot of room.Renovation bathroom molding has been cracked and repaired.Many times shower had black in the grout. That's why we give it a very low rating would never return.
