I saw a view of one of the piers starting to come apart. The wave damage is cumulative - a constant beating until things loosen up and start coming apart. That seems to be the case with the hotel. Probably one of those fake stucco buildings that looks strong, but is a simple stick-frame building underneath.
The back side of the storm will have stronger winds, as most of y'all know already.
Nothing to do now except hang on, though - it's too late to build reinforcement or evacuate.
