    Jennifer at the front desk was so helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Made our stay that much better. First time I’ve been upgraded to a nice Jr Suite with my gold membership. Had a great view of the ocean and sunset! I noticed some walking trails close by. We’re going to ask about those. Next time I’ll get a higher floor. A little noisy

    Good comfortable bed; hotel amenities, service, good. Will revisit again, map layout somewhat but you get use to it after a bit. Would have preferred a higher floor on coastline view because 1st floor is obstructed. Facilities seem nice, haven’t tried them yet but will do next time
