Hmm.. book with caution.
So here is the thing.. the pictures don't exactly give a clear picture of what you are going to get. All of the pictures show superior rooms. We got a deluxe thinking well it's *deluxe.* Go into it knowing deluxe=standard. I will try to be as objective as possible:
Pros: A deluxe room is well decorated with modern tasteful decor. No sea shells and whatnot. The carpet and bedding were clean. The bathroom is very tasteful with marble counter tops and great decor. The hotel is easy to find. They use Bath and Body Works soaps and lotions. There is a safe in the bathroom and refrigerator, coffee maker, etc.
Cons: When I called to make the reservation the front desk told me that they are in the process of renovation -- so all rooms would be superior -- therefore I booked a deluxe not a superior. Apparently that is happening later this year and *I heard wrong* (which is a theme you will read several times -- I guess I should get that tested). A deluxe is quite standard -- if it wasn't for the decor we could have just stayed at the Days Inn/ Holiday Inn or any other standard hotel.
The deluxe room is SMALL. No forreal it is small. There is no flat screen like on the website. The bathroom, while nice is small and narrow. The front desk worker said we had a patio -- we get to our room and there is no patio -- unless the front door walkway is considered a patio. Once again she told me *I heard wrong.* I guess my hubby heard wrong too since he was standing right there. It is more like a motel with outside entrances.
There is renovation so there are quite a few trucks and crews milling about. They take away from the "luxury" atmosphere -- but I guess work has to be done sometimes.
Our refrigerator won't get "cold" so prepare for that. We just didn't feel like calling maintenance for it.
Our room came with one washcloth. After the *third* call someone brought down more. I thought my hubby was going to have a fit at the service. Our safe was already locked so maintenance had to come down.. and then housekeeping had to come back again and bring us an ironing board. All minor things but coming one after the other it was VERY annoying.
The price we paid was $119 -- not a lot but it was more of a $79 a night feel. If you are celebrating something special I would make sure you go for a superior room with a balcony that faces the pool or the water (make sure it's not facing the IHOP).
We decided to check out early and move to the Reach Resort to have more of the "feel" we were looking for since this is our Babymoon (celebrating the upcoming birth of our first child). I will tell you all about that once our stay is over there.
