Satisfactory stay overall

convenient location bottled water small bed no service

The location near the beach was convenient. The room was clean and included complimentary bottled water (i thought that was a nice touch).

The bed in my double room felt smaller than expected. The room was not serviced daily (i understand environmental concerns, but it was still inconvenient).

small bed lack of service

The double bed in the standard double room felt too small. I expect daily room servicing when I pay this much. The excuse of environmental responsibility is not acceptable to avoid servicing the room daily. I expect more for the price I paid.
