Room at Ocean 22
I should have done more homework about the layout of Ocean 22 before checking in, but ended up in Rm 402, which is low, and right at the street end. A mistake!
(Note that this was a 1 bedroom).
Based on this experience, I recommend:
-Ocean front if possible. Ocean view, at least from so far back, was worse than at Anderson, and a small sliver of beachview.
-Towards the back (ocean-end) of the building if doing ocean view. Based on 4th floor layout 402 and 401 were closest to the street, rising at even/odd increment on each side of the building. Avoid!
-go for higher room floors. 402 was noisy, from a maintenance area from adjacent hotel (Breakers) and even some sidewalk noise if you have the slider door open. And last week was Christmas week, so I can imagine how bad it would be in the summer
This was our first stay as owners, and we learned a lot about how to configure the right experience at HGVC.
