I was on a buisness trip with a group from my work (30 of us each in our own room). Some of us got Jr Suites with nice views, I got a regular first floor room with a view of the ocean through the pool area. Which was blocked by the plants they have. They waived the parking fee for us in the garage because we stayed for 11 days. Granted I would have been reimbursed if they charged us anyways.
The staff was very accomodating. I wanted a microwave in my room, and they brought one up to me. However the way they plugged it in, I kept killing the power strip it was plugged into. Which didn't help at 4 am when I was getting up. (Jet lag from East Coast) The staff would always recommend a good place to eat for me. both nearby and further away. They gave me directions to both Target and Walmart (I forgot to pack a swim suit).
The TV was nice and big. Being able to listen to the ocean at night was a plus, expect on the weekends with kids who were there to party checked in, then I couldn't sleep well. The pool was very warm, which helped with the very cool breeze coming off the ocean.
Ok now the negatives.
I contacted the hotel before my trip to inquire about HSIA. They said it was wireless in the hotel, and there are no wired connections in the rooms. Ok fine, I took a wireless laptop with me. I decided not to bring DVD's with me (since I was traveling for such a long period of time), relying on my Netflix streaming account to watch movies online. BIG mistake!!! The conneciton signal in the room was a 3 bar, 4 if I was lucky. There are no Desk level electrical outlets, so you have to search for one for your computer. In this age of Internet access, I would expect a wireless signal of at least 4 to 5 anywhere in the hotel. Oh well.
I meant to ask for turn down service at a different time, because when I got back from work, I would turn my own bed down. But the little chocolates they provided are nice.
Thier breakfast was a JOKE. It was easier to make my own in my room (after I got the microwave). Of course we headed into work at 6am. so breakfast wasn't even being served yet. I didn't see any dinner offered, as other people have written.
I highly recommend this hotel for a little get away. Being on the beach is nice. I walked to dinner most nights, when I was eating close.
