Overall, I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was clean and offered a great view, which I appreciated as I was staying with my parents who are over 70. The staff, particularly Angie and Barbara, were extremely attentive and made our experience much better. However, the pricing felt a bit steep given the limited services, and the pool area was crowded, raising some concerns about social distancing.

Rooms
8.0
The room was nice, clean, and had a wonderful view of the Gulf of Mexico, though I felt the executive level pricing wasn't justified since the amenities were limited.
Service
9.0
The service really stood out during my stay. Angie and Barbara went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of.
Location

The hotel is well-located, but the pool area was quite crowded, which was a bit concerning for my parents in terms of safety.

While the hotel had good facilities, I noticed that the pool was overcrowded and the executive lounge was not open, which detracted from the overall experience.
