I had a decent stay with a few highlights and low points. The oceanfront room was spacious and offered a breathtaking view, plus it was a real treat to have a balcony to watch the sunrise each morning. However, the cleanliness left a lot to be desired, especially in the hallways and room. The service from the front desk was helpful, but I noticed some staff frequently congregating outside, which seemed unprofessional at times. Overall, it was worth the price for the view, but some improvements are needed.
