I booked this room before it had reviews in January, 4 months before our trip. Once we got closer to the date of trip I checked reviews and was apprehensive on how our stay would go.
The check in for parking was rather tedious. They just told us go to the third floor nothing else. Then, when my husband drove up there they told him he couldn't and sent him back down stairs. He came down and told the valet guys and they said that he shouldn't have a problem and told him again to just go to 3rd floor. The front desk on the third floor again told him he couldn't because it was not self parking he had to use valet. So he went downstairs and told me while I was checking in. We talked to them (front desk down stairs) and they gave us a paper to give to them. I wish they had given us that information when we were checking in when I asked where to park initially.
The room is really small. To put it into perspective my 28" luggage could not fit through the wall and first bed. I had to pick it up to bring it into the room. We had a toddler so we felt very confined. It does not come with a proper kitchen but it does have dishes and silverware. I do not know where they are expected to be cleaned if used. I did not find any information to guide us on the use of these items. No soap was offered to clean these items either so just know that not sure if they clean them after a stay or if someone occupies the room if they clean them in the bathroom sink and leave them as "cleaned". One of the coffee cups I was going to use had dried coffee so I skipped coffee and waited till we went to restaurant. So, FYI they probably do not clean these items. The room did offer usb plugs but none of them worked. We brought a usb charger power block so we were fine on that front.
The bed had a duvet but instead of using a duvet cover they used two sheets. One below the duvet and one on top. I personally was kind of grossed out by this, thinking if they wash the duvet each time or just the sheets, since you normally just wash the duvet cover.
Access to the beach was great. We did not use the shuttle but walked over to the bridge, it was a 6 minute-ish walk. Ekaterina did suggest food places for us but we had a hard time trying to find something that met our needs with a toddler.
The walls are thin, we used a sound machine on our iPad to drown out noise so that helped. I woke up at 2am to women in the hallway having a loud conversation.
We left a day early because we could not handle the confined space for all three of us. This would be a great room for fewer guest and maybe if it was just one bed. We did not experience long wait times at elevator even though Ekaterina warned us of such issue.
I was really excited about this place but it did fall short of my expectations.
