The place is old and dingy. The toilet flushed sometimes and the shower tub filled up. The hot water spot was hard to find and getting the faucet into the off position was hard to find. Hardly any outlets for charging. Rusty fridge, old sink and everything else seemed old and needed replacement.

Emergency stay.
The place is clean. It is perfect if you want to stay in as clean place that is not expensive for the great area. But it’s very no frills. Great breakfast and restaurant in premises. Pool is very cute.

The stay was convenient but the hotel could really use an upgrade. My rooms problems: bathroom sink doesn’t drain well, shower head fell off and the bathroom door was jammed shut. My husband had to rescue me out of the bathroom. lol We had lots of laughs on our vacation and during the stay in our room!

It's decent
It's a basic hotel in a good location. If you're looking for some place high end, this is not it. My boyfriend and I found this hotel last minute for Christmas. Yes it's dated could use some renovations, but there's daily cleaning & housekeeping, two great restaurants attached to the property, 5 min walk to the beach, walking distance to shops & public transportation. The air conditioning worked fine, and the water pressure in the shower was great! Bed could have been a little more comfortable but we slept just fine. Aside from the airport noise nearby it's pretty quiet. I would definitely recommend this hotel for someone looking to crash for a night or two.

Worst experience ever! Parking lot looks like a junker, water coming out of shower because lack of attention to details such as properly sealing borders, bathroom faucet was dancing like ballerina, room had many broken details in electrical parts and cabinets; TV and cable connections were not properly secured. Total disaster. Hope they wash and clean bed sheets. Personnel not

I didn't feel secure. The door didn't close fully making me worry that someone could open the door at any time. There was noise early in the morning as remodeling work was being done around the building, and I was not informed about this. They should add that notice to the website to be considered before booking.

Clean, staff were amazing! Cleaning crew always working making sure areas are perfect. Yes the property is dated but it’s not $700 a night like other hotels close or on the beach. Beach was 3 minute walk and awesome!
