The hotel had its ups and downs during my stay. While the spacious rooms and comfortable beds were a nice touch, I was let down by the inattentive service and disappointing food quality at the brunch. The location is fantastic, being close to the beach, but the overall service experience could use significant improvement.

Overall, it felt a bit overpriced for what I received.
