Very easy checkin and check out on process. Clean. Friendly staff. We didn’t have any issues with the elevators but did chat with a few people that were stuck for 45 minutes. It was disappointing that the outdoor pool closest to the beach and the walkway were closed. I would definitely stay here again. ##### Holly P.
