clean room mural decoration accommodating staff overpriced room missing mask missing sanitizer

the room was very clean and beautifully decorated. i especially loved the murals. breakfast was very good, and the staff asked if we wanted more toast. the staff were very accommodating and hard working too.

the room was not worth what we paid. it was comfortable, but i didn't get anything extra to make it beautiful. he also didn't use any hand sanitizer.

adequate but could be better

extra cost parking hassle

the beautiful seaview double was spacious but i don't think it warranted the extra cost it just didn't feel particularly 'beautiful'. parking was a bit of a hassle too the hotel spots were full so i had to hunt for three-hour spaces nearby.
