Everything about the hotel was poor. No place to park temporarily till you try to check in or find out about parking. No signs in the street that say no parking.. we parked our car on the street for 5 min to just go in to ask about parking, behind the row of other parked cars and landed up with a $50 parking ticket. The bathrooms kept getting clogged. No water bottles available. Only 2 towels provided. Minimal amenities — definitely not worth $200.00 we spent. The additional $75.00 they took for security is yet to be returned..

Well, I guess you get what you pay for. It was a low price and now I know why. We just needed a place to sleep before our cruise. It wasn't dirty, but it wasn't comfortable. It was like an old hotel that needs a lot of help. Tile floors, small bathroom, not so nice beds. So, i wouldn't recommend it to anyone. But if you just need a place to sleep for a few hours and don't mind very budget, then maybe it would work for you. It was about 1/2 the price of the hampton inn next door.

Don’t waste your time or money trying to stay at this roach motel. Took 1 step into the room and immediately walked out. And if you’re curious about the room anyways, make sure you pay the five dollars extra for a reservation insurance because they will not give you your money back.

It was ok for the 12h that I needed to wait for my early morning flight after a cruise. But I more than likely would not stay any longer than that. Plus was the location was great as far as the beach and food.

For the price per night it’s excellent. Do not expect luxury and modern rooms of hotels that charge 300-500 a night. If you want a goood location near shops, beach, and nightlife. This hotel is great. Very good breakfast and ice cream spot as part of the hotel, and accommodation by the staff is excellent. Rooms could be slightly more updated - but again, for the price per night - it’s a score!

The room didn’t really match the photos. It didn’t have a fridge and some of the light fixtures were broken. The staff was very nice and the room was kept clean. It just needed a few things like a table and more than just one chair

The internet wasn't working, nor was cable TV or Netflix. The air conditioning was noisy all night, there was a musty smell, and the curtains were stained with blood and dirt. Instead of being in a $160 bucks hote night. I felt like I was in jail. The only redeeming features were the 24-hour pool and the location.
