The room was clean, beautiful, spacious, and filled with amenities. I’d pick any room in this place again.
Three things I didn’t care for…while the hotel accepts pets, there’s nowhere good for them to go to the bathroom. The “grass” is six inches high and must have something sprayed on it to repel pets. My dog wouldn’t pee on the grass and she hopped quickly off every time I put her up on it. I watched some other dogs…same. So she pottied once on the walk way, once on a curb, and once on a sandy walkway. Another man’s dog coming inside pooped right on the 3rd floor carpet and didn’t have a bag. (I gave him one.) Also, I asked for and seemed to have confirmed a beachside view. The only view I had was the parking lot. If that’s because I had a dog, they didn’t say. Third, compared to other beaches I’ve been to, the walk to the ocean is going to take a long stroll as the hotel is set quite far back. (And going from the front door is quite a walk. From the back, as far as I knew, you literally had to walk through where people are eating at the restaurant. No one seemed to mind a dog walking past their table (or being carried) on the way to the beach, but coming back—wet, sandy, and with gear, everyone looked up. It was weird. Finally, the cleaning crews were all nice; the desk people were curt all four times I spoke to them. That didn’t feel great. If all you care about is a really nice facility, you don’t have a dog, and you don’t interact with front staff, you’ll be very happy.
