The staff were polite and kind. The only thing I had a hard time with was that we paid for a room and then we had to pay for a daily parking fee on top of the hotel fee. I just think it is like double dipping. The parking is hard to get in and out of at the hotel. Park in the back parking lot it is much easier.

Disliked: Amenities
Rooms are really nice and cleaner than some of the more expensive hotels around and location is great. Pool is the size of a hot tub so if you want to swim, this is not the place. No Internet connection to the tv, so unable to connect to Netflix, etc.

The space was nice, but no fridge in the rooms. Very noisy with all the construction going on. Parking super tight and of course an extra fee. Beds not that comfy, like sleeping in a ditch. The best is tge convenient beach acess.
