Towel service was poor. Had to ask for clean towels. Not enough amenities for instance vending machine for a cold beverage where only on 2 floors and they didn't work. I am a early morning coffee drinker and may i suggest possibly offering guest complimentary coffee in the lobby other than waiting on the Embassy suite eterie to open. The rooms are a little out dated but clean. I did notice upgrading was happening on 1st floor. Pool area very nice limited seating space though. Beach was perfect.

Really liked the Location but the building itself left a lot to be desired, everything was really OLD and Outdated, no washcloths in the room, in a room for 4 people reserved at 4pp and only had 3 towels. No real amenities in the building all were shared with the building Next door, Pool was beautiful though the bar closed at 5 or 6 pm then had to go into the adjoining building. BEAUTIFUL Views though.

The front desk folks are so friendly and accommodating! It isn’t as expensive as the sister hotel next to it but you have access to all the same things. They are remodeling currently and the rooms are a little outdated but you can’t beat the price for what you get. Did I mention the staff is fantastic?

Staff is super kind. We were given the wrong room at check in but staff and management made it rught. We were told not to open our windows or leave balcony door open or room would become damp. Sad :( but our bed was wet even though we didnt open any windows. The sleeping in a moist bed at the price u pay is miserable! We are on a 25 day vacation and this is a horrible experience. Pop machine broke no other options for drinks but staff again to the rescue with bottled water.

Enjoyable stay. The pool area was very inviting and clean. Gym was also serviceable. Room had a balcony which was a plus. Overall enjoyable stay with lots of dining options within three miles away. The only drawback was the fee for parking. Would definitely stay here again.
