Disliked: Amenities
Check in was a disaster. No one working so had to figure out how to check in and valet through another hotel. TV channels never loaded. Light bulb burned out in my room. Texted for valet for an early flight. Never got a text that my car was pulled around so went downstairs in a panic and it was sitting there. Added/hidden taxes and fees at check out literally doubled what I thought I was paying through hotels.com.

The staff was very kind and professional. Very helpful too! Went out of their way to help us when we needed it. Our room was very clean, though the curtains were very old and we had trouble opening them to view our ocean view. (Which was stunning by the way!) Overall, though the hotel does show its age in some areas, it was a very pleasant experience and we would recommend! It has been well cared for and the age adds to the buildings charm and character.

Simple, close to the beach, very clean, quiet, staff very polite and helpful, free black coffee in the morning and iced water available all day at lobby area. Beach towel available daily at lobby at no extra cost. We arrived 2 hours earlier day 1 and we were able to check-in at no extra cost. Breakfast available and affordable, please note breakfast and pool was served at president hotel, had to walk there daily ( about 3min walk). I will definitely stay again. We had a great time.

Good for the cost. Location is superb. Pool not on site but located at adjacent property. Coffee available 7:30 am if lucky, not a minute earlier. Bed was excellent, couldn’t hear any noise from other guest rooms. Photos are deceiving in apps. No legit bar on site, again adjacent property and very basic.
