The bar was well stocked and fun atmosphere. My room was clear thoroughly and staff were always available and helpful to our concerns. Our room was great for what we paid for. It was close to the strip of restaurants. This is our second time staying here and we enjoyed the accessibility of being close to the beach.

I booked 2 rooms, upon check in they said they only had one on their records and I had to pull up my confirmation email to confirm. I checked in later at night and they ended up giving me a room that already had folks sleeping inside. Went downstairs to inform the person that checked us in and he said he was going to give us an upgrade but it wasn’t an upgrade. The rooms were also only cleaned once in our 4 night stay. But the extent of the cleaning consisted of making the bed and emptying the trash cans. It feels more of a motel instead of a hotel.

$50 per night valet parking, sometimes hard to find the valet person, hard to find a place in front to even use the valet. I had to drag down three heavy suitcases when I left, and no one was in sight to ask for help. NO ELEVATOR. Garbage route in the morning is LOUD. Room service after every three days, but it was clean. The beds are not good, very bouncy, and old.

Upside: Lovely staff! Super-nice Monday evening live music duo by pool/bar. Good location, without the corporate/high-rise atmosphere. No elevator, but assistance with luggage. Comfy bedding and good climate control in room. Good price for area. Downside: Older property with all that entails in terms of room carpet, shower. Functional, but old.

The rooms are a little dated but they were clean. There is no elevator so we had to walk up to our room on the 3rd floor. However the staff was very polite and welcoming and they helped take the bags up. The food and drinks by the pool was very good. It was perfect for our one night stay.
