Richardson, May 2025
Pros (+) Beautiful beach location and views. Was wonderful to wake up each morning with ocean view and able to walk the beach. Clean rooms and great valet team.
Cons (-) Front desk staff not always at the desk. Would be good to add hot tea along side complimentary coffee in the lobby in the morning.

Karen, Apr 2025
Pros (+) Location, decoration
Cons (-) No coffee machine in the rooms. Complimentary coffee in restaurant but only until 8.30 am. My husband arrived at 8.35 am thinking the coffee was on until 9 am. Told he had to buy it! Very mean for the price you pay. No body wash and body lotion not replaced when empty. I would not recommend because I think their attitude to their customers is all wrong.

Breanna, Apr 2025
Pros (+) The staff were very friendly and very accommodating. We were able to check in an hour early, which was great because we came by train. Everything was wonderful, including the restaurant.
Cons (-) The price was a little bit more than I was expecting, but overall, it was a great stay and I would return again

Pros (+) It’s a nice hotel but the walls are very thin. You could hear the elevator every morning and people above you are loud.
