I arrived before check-in and the hotel stored my luggage. i used the hop-on and hop-off bus stopping in front. the location has a mall across the street. i got a room upgrade with complimentary breakfast. The ocean view suite was superb. i wished i could have stayed longer.
a receptionist named christina was disrespectful. she tried to keep me from staying an extra night in the same room without paying extra. she argued with other receptionists not to honor my request. her behavior made my last day difficult!
