The staff was very friendly and the location was perfect. Easy to get to the beach, shops and restaurants. Love the additional benefit of The President and their pool. Booked last minute so had a room on the back alley, which was fine. Just a little loud at night. Otherwise a great stay and worth a visit.
Nice location

Our check in staff was amazing and accommodating. Unfortunately it went downhill from there. They charge for valet parking (which is fine) but we checked on our car 3 times and never got communication/confirmation they actually parked the car. Then we were asked the next morning for a ticket number which we never received. It took almost 25 minutes to get our car at 7am, so it wasn’t that they were busy! There was no remote in our room for the tv and the night front desk person offered no solution, so we had no television. And last but not least, the hot water did not ever warm up in the morning for showers. Overall, pretty disappointed.
