Hotel room look like it had been updated very nice and clean. Only thing that I would say is they could use a new couch. It looks pretty worn other than that. It’s a great hotel.

The condo was very clean and we had a great view of the ocean and pool. The only thing the condo could use was more kitchen utensils and cooking items. We had barely anything to use when we did cook at condo.
