I give this hotel an excellent overall review. It is clean. Staff is professional. It is just across the street from shopping, entertainment, and easily accessible to the beach.
I Love it and so did my family!
For the price paid for a family room, the following:
1. Only 1 soap/shampoo etc
2. Tea/coffee also limited
3. So too the number of towels
4. Cold to lukewarm water to shower, both at night and in the morning
