Staff are very friendly. Room was very clean. Room service refreshed towels & made bed for the 2 nights we stayed. Very close to beach, about 5 min walk. Elevators on site made it very helpful. Breakfast was good & always hot. Coffee was great! Didn't get to try the pool but from what I seen, it looks like they clean it daily. Overall great stay, for a great price!

Staff were great. But idiotic design of building and walls and windows are as thin as paper. Loud and noisy all hours of the evening and staff and people awake from 6am and making tons of noise. Spent an entire week and didn’t get a decent nights sleep. And the hot tub looked as nasty as a swamp.

The AC unit was terribly loud, couldn't sleep at all. Low water pressure, took a long time to shower. No creamer for the coffee...until we were leaving and another upset guest found the creamer carafes in the mini fridge on the other side of the dining area, nowhere near the coffee. It's like no one there cares about the customers experience. Won't go back.
