The rooms are spacious and clean, with some overlooking the pool area. The hotel also recently added a Beach Club at Smathers Beach. It features a hut with chairs, towels, and umbrellas, as well as a variety of water-sports. The hotel provides a convenient and free shuttle service to transport guests back and forth.
