Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is perfect, being right on the beach and within walking distance to shopping and dining options. My room was disappointing, outdated, and dirty, with an unexpected extra charge for leaving the balcony door open. Service was lacking in ethics, and construction noise disrupted our stay. Despite these issues, the dining experience was delightful on the penthouse level. The overall experience left much to be desired in terms of value for money.
The hotel had a laid-back atmosphere with mismatched patch jobs in the room, like a Frankenstein setup with pink paint over the kitchen and a bed in the living room. While it needs a total redo, the service was awesome. The location was great for short stays despite some noise from drunk spring breakers. The dining was good and affordable, and the facilities were decent.
My stay at this hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was excellent, right on the beach, and close to bars and restaurants, which was a big plus. However, the rooms had a strange smell, and it took me a while to find one that was clean. The service, on the other hand, was top-notch with friendly and accommodating staff all around.
