Loved the bartender because we had to hang out there for several hours before the 4:00 check in, which we were told the room still wasn’t ready. We didn’t get into the room until nearly 5:00 because the keys weren’t working. Absolutely no assistance from the housekeeping staff to access the room. Front desk staff were nice.

The stay started by not getting the bed arrangement we had asked for. The next day I ended up paying $40 for a mediocre breakfast because I went to the restaurant right between the two wings of the hotel! Apparently this restaurant is not part of the hotel but is right in the middle of it! Makes absolutely NO sense. The two actual restaurants that offered 10% off didn’t open until 11:30 AM. For breakfast you had to walk 3 blocks to find a restaurant affiliated with the hotel that actually served breakfast. I finally found the pool but had to be directed to it. On our last day the elevator broke down! I spoke to someone at the front desk who assured me they were looking into it. An hour later when checking out and asking about the elevator, everyone at the front was VERY surprised as apparently nobody knew about it! I have a rare lung disease which makes it very difficult for me to climb stairs up to the 3rd floor where our room was. Luckily I was with my cousin who was able to carry our luggage down. The staff at the front desk was very unpleasant. This was probably the WORST hotel experience I ever had! Next time I will go back to my go to hotel on Collins Ave where the elevator doesn’t break down, breakfast is included, and the staff is always pleasant!

The check ins and getting rooms was not as professional as expected. My reservation was given away after it was already paid for in advance. I was made to pay for a new room before I was refunded for the overbooked canceled room. Staff member was cold and unwilling to help.

The location was great. There are so many food options available. There is a walking path right outside the hotel. The beach was right across the street. The hotel says they have towels, beach chairs and bikes. They have a few bikes and a few beach chairs (well used)...for the most part they have beach towels...but they ran out one afternoon and they are pretty small and well used. We stayed in the Sunrise Penthouse. The views were great. We loved the private pool. However, there are no lounge chairs for the deck. The wall lights in the room did not work, the balcony doors would not open, the pool lights did not work and the bathroom mirror light did not work. The bathroom had so much hair on the floor and in the shower that it was disgusting. If you need anything for the room it is best to just go down to the front desk. Don't bother calling down. Overall it is a great place to stay in the middle of everything. Great access to the beach. Kitchy feel.

The location was great and it was generally a good stay. The area is very nice (albeit expensive) and walkable, with lots of dining options, and right by the beach. The blackout curtains were great. However, I was charged an $80 reservation fee after arriving, during check-in. There was loud music until well after midnight. There were only two towels in the room; I asked for more and they weren't provided. There was no more hot water (in shower) around 10am. There was no chair or desk in the room. The bathroom door doesn't really close or lock. The king bed was two twin beds, so too short with a dip in the middle. Solidly 3/5.
