"Comfortable bed with a view of the ocean. Spacious room and bathroom though there are no shelves on which to place toiletries within the shower. Biggest complaint- heavy doors that guests repeatedly slam instead of trying to close gently as I do. There needs to be signs about that as well as preventing screaming and running up and down the halls while people are trying to sleep and/ or relax. Will not stay here again."
