Since I only stayed one night and had to leave for an early flight, the resort fee seemed unfair as we had no time to use any facilities covered by the $25 fee and the $25 parking fee which added $50 to our original room cost.

Corner Room with wrap around balcony
Overall, our stay at this hotel was very nice, however, I felt the price we paid was excessive for what we received. I was hoping to have a nice romantic trip with my wife, so I paid about $200 extra for an oceanfront corner room with a wraparound balcony. We were really hoping to be able to sit outside on the balcony to enjoy the views, but the barstools were too uncomfortable. The total cost for this room was about $500 a night midweek. When we arrived at our room, the views were stunning, but the room and the balcony lacked furnishings. The wraparound balcony was approximately 300 ft.² and only provided a pub table and two barstools to sit at. That’s the same furniture that they provide on their standard room balconies. In the main living/bedroom there wasn’t any real lamps or any type of reading light by bedside. There was only one lamp to light the entire room There was also a sofa and one chair. It would have been nice to have a coffee table or end table to put my cup of coffee down on instead of on the floor. There’s plenty of space to add a table. The bed was comfortable, but they didn’t have any extra blankets or pillows in the closet like you will find at most other hotels. The bathroom and the room was clean, and they did provide daily housekeeping which was nice, considering most hotels no longer do this. This hotel also only offers one restaurant with a pretty limited menu.
