The breakfast was continental and minimal, with delivery only. Arrived in a box on the door. The floor was not clean (had sand). Bed was comfortable. Bathroom acceptable. Other than the screaming child in the hallway at night, it was OK.

I was misled by my booking I paid extra for a nicer room lakefront with balcony higher floor and I was given first floor room lakefront. I told the front desk and he didn’t help me when I got to the room I was tired and I wanted to rest but upstairs they had kids were running around, I called the front desk again that if they can help me either ask them for to be little quiet or if I could change rooms, his answer was is 5 o’clock you can sleep when is time for bed not now. Customer service is zero at the front desk.

The staff was great and the place was really clean. Unfortunately, there was little to no sound proofing in our room. We could hear the family (with small children) across the hall along with the people staying above us clear as day in our room with both doors closed.

Very nice hotel. Clean and cozy. Great for family stay, or if you need to stay somewhere before the flight.

Everything was good except the breakfast- should have more options : every day was small orange - should have more options like bananas, cherries, apples Also more options for cereal - like corn flakes,rice crispy, original cheerios (all cereal that hotel provided is to much sugar, maybe kids like that kind of but not grown ups) Was not impressed by boiled eggs which expiration date it was two months. Elevator it’s very slow and should would be nice to have mirror Beach was beautiful and very clean ,it’s great that they provide clean beach towels every day , great view , love the ducks on the beach and we enjoyed free coffee every morning by the beach Should have more umbrellas and the one that is on the beach are mostly broken Room is clean and beautiful , didn’t like huge TV - it was to close to the bed Check in was easy Hotel staff very nice , professional and friendly Will come back but next time will book beach view room with balcony or patio (it’s worth the money)

We had the walk out king with spa tub and it was absolutely wonderful. The room was very clean and comfortable. The tub was relaxing and big enough for 2 if you desire. I loved waking up and looking out to the water and getting to see a family of ducks with 15 babies on the waterfront. It was also nice just being able to step out of our room and down a couple of steps and we were on the beach. It was a little too cool at this time of year to take full advantage of it but we will definitely be back when the weather is warmer.
