    "We would definitely stay there again." source Orbitz

    "The reviews on this hotel nailed the issues that we encountered:\n\n- front desk staff not very helpful\n- hot tub jets just bubble; all are broken\n- noisy; ice maker flooded both nights, and they cleaned hallway carpets around 8:30am both mornings\n- room was pretty nice, however, "partial ocean view" did mean to lean over your railing or squint through the trees to see a hint of water\n- self parking was terrible and only one valet appeared to be on duty\n\nOverall, we would consider another hotel next time." source Travelocity
