Other than one of the front entrance doors and one of the elevators being broken it was a good stay. The staff on the restaurant and bar are amazing. We had lots of laughs with them

The room was very clean and although they are in the process of updating, the hotel overall has such a classy feel. Very upscale feeling. And not even a stones throw from the beach. A great getaway from the cold weather.
