Beware of room 519. You can hear the elevator constantly in operation from the room, which made it shake. I would have asked for another room but had I already setup my toddlers area that it was more of a hassle. The toilet also would not flush properly. The hotel is very close to a lot of food places and walkable to the beach and park
