the hotel

AMAZING. We were right downtown by the water and close to everything. We had this crazy view of the beach (they messed up our check-in so we got upgraded from ‘city side’ to ‘beach side’ room). The room is pretty nice, the beds aren’t quite doubles but they’re super comfy so that makes up for it. The bathroom is pretty amazing and the shower and toilet are separate from the sink/get ready area. And it’s an actual tub, like REAL SHOWER sooo excited about that since I haven’t seen one of those in almost 4 months. There are so many extras here too. There’s a gym and pool are they look out onto the beach/boardwalk area. So basically while you’re running on the treadmill you have this amazing view. In that area there is also a whole women and men’s area. The women’s has a sauna, showers, powder room (complete with blow dryers and products), a beauty shop, a ‘sleeping room’ (yes, I’m being serious). It has reclining chairs) and a snack bar. Downstairs (the lobby area) is pretty amazing too. There are 3 restaurants and one of them has breakfast in the morning. We get free breakfast (which is $25/person if you don’t have the coupon thingy btw) and it’s probably the best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had. Huuuge buffet with anything from fruits and salads to omelettes, pancakes, cereal, baked goods and even ‘lunch like’ food (fried veggies, pasta, dumplings...) Mmm and fresh juice, soo delicious. Then when you walk out of the hotel from the beach side, there’s this staircase you can take an underground gym area (yes, another one). This one has squash courts, a mini golf course, an indoor driving range, another (smaller) gym, and a dance studio (for yoga...) with a ping pong table. Oh and there’s also a club in the hotel (although we haven’t been yet, stupid $20 cover). So plenty of things to do around here when we’re not busy exploring the city.
