There was a boil water in place, and they handed out one bottle of water, for coffee, brushing teeth, etc. No discount. Then I found out after the fact there is a $10 charge for parking!! Nobody told me that. Just could be a bit more transparent in fees and a bit more accommodating when you can't drink the water....

Could be a better layout of the room and bathroom. No desk, no place to hang a towel at the sink, could have shelves or something in the toilet shower room for setting things on and more towel racks.

The room we stayed in was nice, Ocean View KIng w/patio and fireplace(we were located on the first floor) Walking into the room it smelled & appeared clean. Overall was clean except for the desk table, that had a wet residue spot from like a Large Fountain Drink and the heavy chair next to it had crumbs on it.(we cleaned it ourselves, didnt bother to tell the front desk, no biggie really). I would say was a simple oversight, the rest was clean. There is no microwave in unit, they have a microwave in the lobby, as well as free Coffee, and hot water. There is no Breakfast. The attached Spyglass Restaurant Is permanently closed. Dolphin Bay next door has a restaurant it is about 2 min walk. Inside the room, I did like that there were enough plugs for charging. Also the beds and pillows super comfy! There is minifridge. The outdoor patio is nice to sit and watch the sunset. Next time we will get the room upstairs, Just to watch the sunset from a higher spot and avoid dealing with loud upstairs noises. The outdoor gas firepits were a plus as well, about 20 steps from patio slider. They shut off at 10pm. Beach access is about a 5 minute walk north. You will follow the path & cross the lawns of other nearby hotels to get there. (Dolphin Bay Resort & Spa & The Cliffs Hotel & Spa).There is a stairway (not handicap accessible) down to sandy beach to hangout and play and also some coral areas for playing with Marine life (hermit crabs,crabs, sea urchines/ anemones, etc). Worth the $ pd
