My stay at Elita Hotel was awesome! Before you even THINK about booking here, please note the following: this is an older property hence why the price is LOWER than the surrounding hotels and this is a SELF-SERVICE hotel with no front desk staff. Upon arrival, you have to enter a specifc code to get into the property gate, then you obtain your key from the lockbox next to the hotel room door. The room stayed nice and cool the entire stay with the a/c on and there is also a ceiling fan in the roon for extra air circulation. The room included a mini fridge, safe, king bed, tv and a small table with chair. The bathroom was also nice with a stand up shower. I wish the vanity was bigger but it was fine. I did hop in the pool that went up to 6ft. Surrounding the pool are tables, chairs, and a dining area where you can bring your own food and hang out by the pool. The community "living room" is where you will obtain extra supplies for the room if you happen to run out. If you do need to contact staff, send a quick text and they reply back SUPER fast! BEAUTIFUL view of the ocean from the 3rd level sun deck and from my room! SUPER short walk to the beach where I was able to rent beach chairs and umbrellas from the W Hotel staff and was also able to order food and drinks out there! This hotel is centrally located out of the way of the "busy area" and rambunctiousness. The surrounding restaurants are really good! I enjoyed my stay and would love to stay here again!

Super close to the beach! Maybe one residential block away at most! The room smelled great and was well maintained . Getting in was annoying due to a 6 character code that must be entered at the gate each time. Parking was questionable and even though I paid for a parking pass, I never got one. Otherwise, no complaints

Staff was very attentive and responsive to any needs. The room was very clean and roomy. The air conditioner worked perfect and the bed was extremely comfortable. There were plenty of towels and amenities to use for the room, pool and beach. Very secure with gated entry requiring a passcode. One suggestion would be more mirrors in the room outside the bathroom for getting ready for a night out but other than that everything was perfect. We did not have to use parking but it is available for a fee daily. Convenient walk to down town

Suzanne

Liked: Staff & service
Location was good, staff kept checking in to make sure things were good, noticed things that wasn’t up to par-stains on the wall that I thought was throw up or diarrhea but ended up being wallpaper glue which was also peeling.. floor felt so dirty I kept having to put socks on to walk to the bathroom and take them off when I got back into bed-they reached out they came and cleaned it. Last day I found broken glass on the patio the section where the flooring was wood-told management about it and never heard back-probably still there as we speak. Gate can be loud closing.. door to the room doesn’t close all the way I’ve had to come back multiple times to double check that it was closed-it was not make sure you push the door all the way. The bed sheets kept falling off-if you were sleeping with someone else it definitely will be unbearable i stayed by myself..I did have a single basic hotel room but I feel like it could’ve been better for the room aspect

Locations okay. It was nice only being a block off the beach. The whole place itself is a little ran down. But it’s not in terrible condition. The room I booked wasn’t the most clean. You can definitely tell the rooms only get a quick wipe down and linen change and never get a deep cleaning. The front desk hours are very limited and I barely saw any staff on the property. BUT, when you message the property, they get back VERY quickly, willing to resolve any issue or question you may have. Overall, wasn’t a bad place to stay for the price.

Great stay. The grounds were beautiful, the room was clean, and things in working order—although there were some unruly guests that were loud and destructive of property. I know It’s not the staffs fault, but it sometimes can be a toss up when staying at a hotel where there is not front end staff to intervene about expectations. However, the customer service was always a text away so any complaints I had they took care of them swiftly and I truly appreciate that. I would stay again!!
