Room does NOT look like photos. Don't stay here.

The room looked nothing like the photos online. It was like a basement - very little light, but also somehow very loud / noisy b/c it was right off the main lobby. Staff was unhelpful and manager was unavailable. Terrible experience. Don't stay here.

Good energies!

We had such a pleasant break from the daily grind in the city, what really stood out was the friendly, professional staff, short stroll and your toes are in the sand, and the mimosas kept coming on Sunday morning. Thanks for helping us reset ourselves!
