The good:
Great location. You are close to the beach- they will give you a free shuttle ride to it, along with a beach bag/chairs. Actually, their shuttle is free for any place within 1-2 miles. They also had an airport shuttle as well.
It is right across the street from City Place, which has pretty good restaurants and cute little shops.
The gym is not so bad for basic cardio and a small amount of weights. There is 1 stair master, which is better than I have seen for hotel gyms, one rower, a handful of treadmills, and some Peloton style bikes. It has TRX bands, kettlebells, dumbbells, ball, mats, etc.
The pool area is nice. It was large enough for the amount of guests they had. They have a cute little pool bar area too.
The bathrooms come with full size toiletries and have a modern design, although a bit small.
The restaurants on site are pretty good too. Mezze is nice for in-person breakfast. Their buffet has a lot of options and they can custom make your eggs as well. Servers were attentive. The Galley was great for appetizers and drinks. I would pass on the pizza if you are a pizza snob.
The bad:
Our shower leaked all over the floor. We had to use our shower mat and at least two full size towels to dry the floor after every shower. The water would go all the way to the door trim even with towels soaking the water up. We eventually had maintenance come fix the rubber seals, but the shower still leaked a bit from the gaps between the glass panels. The vanity light would keep dimming after 20-30 seconds. I am not sure if it was a wiring issue, but I could not reset it no matter how many times I flipped the switch. So for the ladies, a bit irritating to do your makeup. They also did not have a little vanity/magnifying mirror that is normally connected to the bathroom walls.
There are no robes or disposable slippers. The closet is small. You cannot store an open, full size suitcase. The room is pretty cramped, so if you have more than one suitcase, it is going to be difficult to be able to keep your suitcase open and have room to walk around and access it without there being a tripping hazard.
There is a mini fridge in the room, but it is so cold, everything you put in is freezes. They were nice enough to let me have a microwave to warm food up.
I probably would not stay here again, but would definitely go for the Galley/Mezze restaurant. read more
