My mattress was horrific! The foot was higher than the head and it was lumpy and quite painful to sleep on. Plus, couple next door was fighting all night. Got different room next night and was much better.

Very good hotel, especially for being in a beachfront area. Clean, quiet after the daytime traffic stopped. Excellent complementary breakfast. The only "glitch" was when the hotel's auto-dial system called all the rooms at 11PM to notify everyone that they had to follow all the parking rules--everybody had done so, but still got the call.
