Excellent accommodations at a great price. Very friendly staff. Rooms are spacious and modern. Bed is very comfortable and the view is super. Heated pool and hot tub with plenty of lounges. If available opt for the kitchen units at a very modest upcharge from the non kitchen units. Please note that most of the negative comments are from people who did not realize the non oceanfront rooms are across the street in an older building even though that is clearly noted on both Expedia and the hotel’s website. The difference in price is not great so always book oceanfront and you will be much happier. I would note that the change in ownership and new staff has caused some confusion with front desk staff but be patient. They are honest and accommodating if a bit uncertain at times.
