The room had dead flies in it. The bed was absolutely terrible. Worst sleep of my life. That alone ruined the trip for me.

We had an ocean front room with a lovely balcony on the top floor (2nd) of the building. The room was good, but with no elevator, I definitely got my steps in carrying luggage up several flights of stairs. Breakfast was a standard continental menu. The check in and check out staff were friendly!

Room was nice. Lots of room. My husband used the gym and said it was ok. The tread mill wasn't working that good. Loved the oceanfront balcony.
