"Property was nice. In a good location. Staff was very helpful. What I didn’t like was not enough seating in breakfast area. Breakfast area was open and had birds attacking your plate if left unattended. The birds were also on the serving trays and tables. Unsanitary"
"The hotel is very nice. We're very happy with the amenities. If you have difficulty walking, do not book the Ocean tower. It's too far of a walk from the lobby."
