The room was huge and very clean. I had a great view of the ocean. The complimentary breakfast was fantastic. My only complaint was that when I arrived in my room, the thermostat was set to 10 degrees cel and it was freezing cold. It took a while to warm up that first night, but this is a minor, minor thing. I plan on staying here again next time I am in the city. Thank you for a fantastic stay!"
