Make sure your confirmation lists room name/location

Great place, but we did not receive the room booked and then tried to call it an upgrade. It was important to us to have a 2nd floor room for the view. Since we were staying Thurs and Friday, I think they gave our room to someone staying Friday and Saturday, so they could book more rooms. The room we ended up with was available Thurs and Friday, so they moved us. They tried to call it an upgrade, on the ground floor, but I turned that down when I booked it. What were we supposed to do when they don't tell you until you arrive. Get everything in writing. They did not put the room name or floor level on the confirmation. This gives them flexibility to move you.

Enjoyed our two night stay in the Oceanview suite! The staff was very friendly. Loved our first floor patio. The view was great. We did spend more per night due to the holiday weekend but enjoyed our trip. My daughters were able to scooter behind the hotel. Their was a managers reception both nights. Look forward to staying again!

My husband and I stayed here for the happiness festival put on by the Atlantic. Chloe at check-in was so lovely, and we truly enjoyed our stay here. The most fun was when everyone checked out and we spent the day golfing and cocktailing to our hearts content!

Not gracious at all

Reviewed By 392beatrices

We hosted a wedding in the area and many guests stayed at the hotel. Hotel management wanted to charge us $5/pp to distribute COVID tests to guests at check in! Totally felt nicked and dimed. A guest also told us that the room was cold and maintenance took forever to bring her a heater and extra blankets.

Beautiful suite with views of the bay. Great facilities. Spa was closed unfortunately and adjoining shopping mall had just a couple of shops. We loved the Peruvian restaurant nearby. Staff were very helpful. Breakfast diner was good too.
