Big hotel with a lot to offer. Multiple pools indoor and out. Unfortunately the lazy rivers were shut down for Covid. There is a restaurant and bar, didn't look great but it's convenient. Arcade room, fitness, laundry, Sauna (closed for Covid), they say there's a putt putt course too, never found that but didn't ask. It is a large hotel. Staff was fine, showed up around 9pm and was in my room within 20 minutes. The parking garage with the over the road "skywalk" was very convenient. The hotel was not very full as it was off season. Elevators were numerous and little or no wait time. One was broken and shut down but not an issue.
The rooms were acceptable, bed was comfortable and large enough. Showers provided ample hot water. Oceanfront balcony was great. The couch was too small though for even one person to lay on while stretching out their legs, kind of odd and annoying. Impossible to watch TV with my wife and I on the couch because it was love seat size. Kitchen was stocked with adequate utensils and cutlery. AC worked fine, two units one on the balcony and one by the front door. It was more than sufficient at cooling the room.
The biggest gripe was the cleanliness, the floor of the room was littered with dust and who knows what else. Walking around barefoot you were sure to have it on the bottoms of your feet. The balcony carpet had debris stuck to it and a beer can pop tab. Bathroom was adequately clean, however, as were the beds.
The pool area especially the indoor pool area was lacking in cleanliness. We actually did see a few cockroaches at one point. There was a dead one floating in the shut down lazy river for several days. What kind of hotel doesn't have someone at least strain out a large dead cockroach floating in a shut down lazy river?
But we still used the outdoor pool and hot tube which were nice, although also a bit dirty. A few hairs floating in the pool, but I've probably swam in worse. The indoor area was nice but the cockroaches grossed my wife out too much so she didn't want to use the indoor pools.
Price was fair, location was excellent just far enough from Ripley's to avoid most of the madness and sketchy after dark activities.
Not sure I would come back were I too visit again but I'm not totally opposed to it either. Overall pretty good hotel for the price, great for kids because of all the pools. We had a nice time.
