Room was updated nicely more recently remodeled. The entire property was cleanly though a few projects here and there were due; for example lights needing replacing in the lobby and both treadmills were out of order. Though we still appreciated getting to use the exercise facility and free weights. As well as the pool area was nice and breakfast was lovely. We would definitely stay again.

An aesthetically beautiful hotel right near the beach and local eateries. The staff at every level was amazing. The room was very spacious and clean and had a large balcony. We enjoyed the breakfast spread by the pool area each morning. My only complaint is that the shower was very moldy.

Our room had a whole kitchenette and separate master sleeping area. It was just down the street from the beach and a good location. There was road construction going on when we went so we kind of had a hard time getting in to the hotel but that wasn’t the hotels fault.

Disliked: Amenities
The room itself was clean, and the cleaning staff did an excellent job, but the grounds, lobby, pool area, and restaurant was nothing like the photos. I did grab a yogurt at the breakfast buffet, but found everything else unappetizing due to the ambiance. The pool area was sub par. We looked at the space and went straight to the beach. There was a lot of garbage on the grounds of the hotel waking down to the street.

The always underappreciated cleaning staff-(which I generally reject any cleaning services til I check out- so they have less work and maybe a few more minutes of time for themselves, deserve appreciation for the quality cleaning you can't help notice upon arrival. I always try to leave a small gratuity from $5 to $10 dollars- not much by itself, but if most Hotelers gave a little it would b so helpful to them .Great location and amenities

It looks a little rough from the street with the boarded up restaurant to the front, however, I was very pleased with the hotel itself. Very clean and spacious. And the balcony was perfect for nightly sunset views. The front desk staff were very nice and helpful. And I greatly appreciated the purified water available on the ground floor to refill my water bottle daily.
