A Wonderful Stay

The breakfast had fresh options every morning. Jasmin was particularly helpful, she ensured everyone felt welcomed. The beds were very comfortable, I found myself sleeping soundly each night. The room was well-kept, it was clean when I arrived.
The walls seemed thin at times, I could hear some noise from the hallway.

small breakfast areadead batteries
The breakfast area was too small for the number of guests. I had to wait for a table each morning. the ice machine on my floor was out of service. This inconvenience meant going to another floor. It wasn't a huge deal but still annoying after a long day! The remote control in my room also had dead batteries. These issues.

I enjoyed the complimentary breakfast a lot. It saved me time in the mornings. The location was convenient, near the beach. The front desk staff was friendly and efficient.
The room smelled slightly musty. The shower had a half glass wall. This made the floor wet after showering, it was annoying. The parking lot felt a bit sketchy.
