8.2/10 Very Good! (831 reviews)
Clean room, very nice and comfortable. Such friendly staff too! I am quite content to be here! We have an ocean view, but we arrived at night so I have yet to see what kind of ocean view it is. I’ve been in many ocean-view rooms, I hope this room does not disappoint when I check in the morning.
