Nice hotel, clean rooms, friendly staff, good amenities. The bed in our room wasn’t super comfortable, but I think that was because of the thick plastic cover that was underneath the bedsheets.

Location was good, but the hotel was dated and all aspects in need of an upgrade—Lobby, room, bathroom, Everything,everywhere. The parking was limited and tight and we had to park in a different hotel lot 2 blocks away. The WORST part was the BLOOD AND MOLD STAINS ON THE SHEER CURTAINS in the room clearly visible. Immediately contacted front desk person,Daniel, who said they would immediately at least arrange to remove them if they could not be replaced. Upon returning to Hotel ~4 hrs later, I asked if they had been removed and he said “yes and likely even replaced.” Got to my room and NOTHING HAD BEEN REMOVED. So to add insult to injury, was lied to. Felt unclean, room needed vacuuming, etc. It was a most uncomfortable night. Felt like surrounded by bodily fluids. Will NOT stay there again!

Good for the Cost
Came with my 15 yr old son and his gf for a few nights. Very clean and comfortable. Could use some updating. Right on the beach. The area out front is a bit sketchy at night. Thought I read that they provided breakfast each morning but only found a basic coffee bar. Food in restaurant was ok.

First (and last) time staying at this hotel. Pros: Great view and location. Cons: worst bed in any hotel I have ever stayed at. Mattress was bouncy and springy. Every pillow was awful. I lucked into a parking spot but was told getting one isn't guaranteed. The AC blew hot air onto the porch so it had to be off if you are outside. Inside, I had it set to the lowest of 60 degrees and the room was still warm at all times which, along with the bed, added to no sleep. AC and other guests made it noisy. Shower was warm and had ZERO pressure. Elevator was unbearably slow. Most times I took the stairs to the 5th floor. Will be at a different place next year fo sho
