Very Good

Wonderful location. Basic room, but directly across from the beach. Ocean was clean NO sarcasm. Staff was very accommodating. Will definitely stay there when we return.
Had everything I needed for a night beachfront. I only booked one night because that’s all they had for ocean front. Nice towels, beds and sheets. VERY CLEAN.

Great location and nice staff! To consider the music from the surrounding area
Had the best view of the sunset from the 3rd floor, staff was awesome, clean and upkept BUT the party doesn't stop after the bars close, the party goes on till the sun comes up! They do tell you its loud when you check in and give you earplugs.

It's a very noisy hotel. Couldn't sleep the 3 nights spent there. No sound proofing installed.
There are no amenities, tables, nor appliances. If you don't mind that, its on a sweet beach spot.

Good price, of course bot much comfort, clean, located close to the beach
Everything about this hotel was great. The concierge was very helpful and efficient. The rooms were clean. The bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay very much. The only major problem was the neighboring bar that began blasting loud dance music at 10:00-10:30 PM. It was tough to sleep there, sadly. We certainly slept well when we made it home.

The pool doesn’t look desirable to jump in but who wants the pool when you have the beach right in front of you. The room had what we needed. If relaxing and quietness is what you want this is not the place, it’s a block away from main bar areas and there is another beachfront bar right next it music is very loud but it was convenient for us since that’s what we wanted.
Beautiful view of the ocean and excellent location to restaurants. Clean room.
Comfortable bed. Private outdoor balcony space. The music during the night until 2 am from the beach was loud as the hotel had noted. If loud music at night bothers you I would choose to stay in another location.

Beautiful location. Was quiet at night on Sunday so that was amazing. The area is very noisy overall. The room was about a 2 star, no amenities, no TV, no blanket, no coffee or glasses or mugs. It had a bed and that was it. Great place if you want to party and be out about the town.
Nice beachfront hotel right in the heart of town, if you like to go out and party this is your place since you are next to all the party locations, if you want to relax then choose another property because the bars nearby are very noisy up untill the morning. The rooms are nice and it’s very walkable around

was a very simple hotel . Water poured in because it rained night before and I mentioned it during check out to the front desk and they said well yes that will happen when it rains as if that a normal thing. Shouldn’t be normalized. Overall noisy location but I was prepared with earplugs! Didn’t bother me.
Do not go to this hotel, I repeat do not go to this hotel. There is a party that starts at 1 am and continues until sunrise EVERY NIGHT and you hear the music so loud to your room it is like being inside the club. It is quaranteed you will NOT sleep at night neither during the day since they did work at the hotel with loud noise at day time. None of the workers speak any english, impossible to communicate, had to use translator and they still didnt understand. Unblievable. Neither the hotel nor Hotels.com was willing to cancel our second night so we just had to book another hotel and lost our money on this one. Worst hotel experience ever. Do not go there.
