My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was convenient, directly on the beach with easy access to stores and restaurants, but the rooms were dated and showed signs of wear. The service was excellent with a quick room change, yet the noise from neighboring rooms was quite bothersome. The dining options were not great, leading me to eat out, but the facilities were satisfactory overall.

The hotel's location was awesome, close to all the stores and within easy reach of club and bar spots. However, the rooms need a lot of work and updates, as they had windows that couldn't open, no balconies unless you booked a suite, and were dirty with a falling-apart, moldy bathroom. The service was lacking, with bad smells in the stairs and hot elevators, and rude behavior from staff at various points. On the upside, the location was convenient for exploring around and close to the beach and restaurants.

The rooms definitely need improvement - dirty and with non-functional windows and no balconies unless you upgraded to a suite.

I have mixed feelings about my stay at this hotel. The location right on the beach was fantastic, but the room was disappointing and outdated. The service had its ups and downs, with some rude encounters but also some friendly staff. The dining experience left much to be desired, but the facilities were decent overall. The non-refundable policy made it challenging for budget-conscious travelers.

The room definitely needed some improvements. We had to rearrange the bed setup just to make it bearable. It felt a bit outdated.

While some staff members were rude and uninformative, others, like the kind male manager, made up for it with great service.

The location was the highlight for me. Being right on the beach with pools and access to a private clean beach made up for other shortcomings.

The dining experience was expensive and not satisfying. Very limited offerings for the price, and no free refills added to the disappointment.

The hotel's location is unbeatable, just steps from the white sandy beach. The rooms were clean but had some issues with sand upon arrival and an unwelcome guest. The service was strict, and the hotel had its share of noise disturbances. Dining should be improved, and some charges were unexplained.

The hotel is ideally located right on the beach and close to different restaurants. The rooms are affordable, actually clean, with some cosmetic imperfections that are not a big deal. The staff is nice and accommodating, resembling the pictures. However, the parking situation was a major issue with blocked lots by 18-wheelers and charging non-refundable fees twice, making it less convenient for guests.

Before going to our room, it was definitely run down compared to the pictures. We had a loud dog keeping us up, and the room was full of lovebugs and gnats.

The staff was really great, but I witnessed some fussing in front of me about something that happened on the 4th floor.
