Hotel was under renovation. I contacted Expedia to see if they could move my reservation to another hotel and they were unable to resolve my issue. Hotel refused to release my reservation or move me to another room since safety box wasn't working. Wifi didn't work. My balcony view was to a rental car carwash and taken apart car

It was the worst experience of my life in a hotel. I’m a night nurse and I work nights and sleep in the day. They didn’t disclose ahead of time that there was any type of construction that was jackhammer going off all day long it was filthy dirty outside of the hotel room the carpets the lounge the check up Whenever you needed something you had to call three or four times the office was in the garage. it just felt unsafe all around. It was broken glass down in the parking garage. There was no ice machines. They were broken.

Hotel that is going thru a major renovation. Rooms bright and clean but as business traveler how are you supposed to get any work done with a trendy micro desk and a chair some designer came up with who has never sat at a hotel desk and done hours of computer work?

Will be going back!

We stayed here for 2 nights and it was amazing! They are remodeling the property so there weren’t ice machines and parking was messy, but they did waive the parking fees to compensate for it. The free breakfast was surprisingly decent. Quick walk to the beach, good food around within walking distance. Quiet slow paced area. It was exactly the get away we were looking for without breaking the bank :)

Dirty, poorly-managed hotel

Poorly-managed mess of a hotel. Property is dirty, plumbing doesn’t work, rooms smell like cigarette smoke, and stairwells are blocked in a way that is both inconvenient and presumably unsafe.

Unfortunately they are going through a huge renovation so the lobby is out of commission as well as the elevator. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. The overall experience was tainted by having to climb the stairs with my luggage and also not having a lobby to check in, get coffee, relax, etc. Felt as though they should've closed the whole property in order to do this renovation.

First off, they had no lobby for check in and the elevator was broken. Parking was horrible with construction items taking up most parking spaces. We had to check in where the staff entrance was which was tiny and unwelcoming for what we paid. The room was decent and clean though.
