8/10 Very Good

Having stayed in many hotels, I appreciate this hotel's 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom suite. It made it easy for my family of 4 to have my brother join our trip, without needing to secure a second suite! This hotel, although having ocean views, is not truly ocean/beach accessible, fortunately, they have a pool. The hotel's restaurant, located on the 5th floor (top) offers beautiful views of the ocean when dining. Aside from not having ocean access, I would stay here again.

Restaurant had a decent menu but they don’t have alcohol on the premises,I’ve eaten at a lot of restaurants and this is a first. Got an ocean view room for an extra charge and the windows hadn’t been cleaned in months and about impossible to see thru, nothing to do or other restaurants within walking distance
