It was under construction and was not notified ahead of time. However, the rooms and location were great. The view out my window was bad- dirty abandoned parking lot vibe. I do think if the rest of the hotel turns out as nice as the rooms, this will be a great place to stay.

The breakfast area was under construction but they set up a grab and go breakfast with lots of delicious options. Every staff member we interacted with was super friendly and helpful! The gym was also great and had plenty of free weights, cardio options, and extra accessories.

There is no beach view from the hotel, it's too far inland. There was construction going on that we weren't aware of, so the lobby was rearranged. Our room was clean and lovely, I liked the shampoo and body wash provided, a standard, simple room for a quick stay.

Property was undergoing renovations during my stay, so some facilities were unavailable. However, the staff did their best to ensure guests still had a positive experience. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would happily return. My only complaint is the water pressure in the shower in Room 220, which could definitely be improved.

The hotel was clean and also had wonderful staff members. I wish the contenintal breakfast had more items to choose from though, was sort of small. Our room was decent, but only down side was it was facing the intersection so a little loud, and also the random freight trains that went by early in the morning. My husband and I would definitely stay there again and maybe it would be finished with the remodel..
