Seaside Bliss

The receptionist provided a complimentary upgrade to the Bridal Suite given our wedding anniversary. I appreciated the thoughtful touch very much. Breakfast was amazing. The staff were friendly.
I noticed cobwebs on the ceiling and a window did not close properly. The air conditioner seemed outdated and sounded noisy. Very loud pipes woke me when a neighbor showered.
