Great location. Able to walk to stores, restaurants, the beach and transportation. Nice view from room and Rooftop. Breakfast was good with lots of options. And it was nice to have free drink vouchers. Bed was comfortable. Hotel seemed clean. Friendly staff. Con: Room was freezing and unable to turn of AC. When called operator was told no extra blankets. But someone came up to turn of AC and raise heat. No concierge. All in all would definitely go back and stay.

Needs updating but great deal

Hotel needs to vacuum and update hallways. Food and wine options at bar are lacking. Solid breakfast. Overall, a great deal for what you get. Great location.

Extremely disappointing stay. The room was dirty upon arrival, and there was no housekeeping service at all during my visit. I had to go down to the front desk just to get clean towels, since no one ever came to the room. At check-in, I was hit with a surprise $99 per night “fee” that was never mentioned during booking—completely misleading. To make matters worse, there were bogus dinner and drink charges added to my final bill for items I never ordered, and the front desk staff was unhelpful when I tried to get it resolved. For the price, this hotel is absolutely not worth it. Poor cleanliness, hidden fees, and terrible customer service — I wouldn’t stay here again or recommend it to anyone.

Room wasn’t clean, a lot of dust around the furniture, everything is very old and a few things doesn’t work well. No service at the room and very hard to get towels and toilet paper. I won’t use this hotel next time
