Overall very happy with the stay This was our first time here (and to the area) and overall we enjoyed the hotel. Location: Great location. Right across from the beach. Walking distance to some good food and to a Publix grocery store. Fantastic view from the room. Room: We were in a Preferred King Ocean View. I've added a picture to show the great view. The room was very spacious, had a large TV, coffee maker, mini-fridge. The bathroom had a large rainfall shower, and my wife thought the shower products were great. I missed having a regular shower head or hose attachment, but that is minor. The room was very clean and had daily cleaning. There is one big downside to the room. The bathroom has a floor-to-ceiling frosted glass window. You can't see into the bathroom other than some shadows, but a bit more than some people might want. A bigger issue is that when someone uses the bathroom at night (and there is no nightlight), turning on the bathroom light illuminates the whole room. I have no idea why they did this. See my picture if you have trouble visualizing this. I'll rate noise level two ways: Street noise was very minimal. I think having a park on one side and a museum on the other reduced the amount of local bars and restaurants, so street noise was not an issue. Room noise was a bit more problematic. Like many hotel rooms, the HVAC has three modes - On/off as needed, On, and Off. On was loud, and switching on/off was noticeable and is not for light sleepers. We kept it off. With that, we slept very well. The mattress was excellent and the pillows were nice. Amenities: Didn't care for the restaurant (that will be a separate review). We didn't use the pool or fitness center. Service: Nothing really bad, but some minor stuff that makes it just average for me. Nothing that would keep me from staying here again. Value: I think, all-in, the price was comparable or better to other hotels in the area that were beachfront. However, I didn't like the $50+/day valet parking (there is no other parking option!!) and the daily resort fee. The $40+ daily resort fee gets you wi-fi, two bottles of water (for the whole stay!), beach chairs (but no umbrellas), and use of the pool and fitness center. So you are basically paying $100 extra per night. So factor that in when comparing. Valet parking generally worked well. The attendants were very friendly. However, I found it a hassle to have to ask for your car when you wanted to go somewhere.
