Liked: Amenities
The staff was very nice. The rooms are somewhat dated and could use some extra attention to cleaning (ceiling and light fixture was filthy) and maintenance. Laundry facility was the worst part of our visit with only one working washer and dryers that take two to three cycles to get clothes dry. The breakfast as good and very well maintained. We'd stay here again.

The room I stayed in initially had a musty odor, and unfortunately, the second room I was given had the same issue. Despite that, it was overall a good place to stay — clean, comfortable, and well-located.

An older building, everything is old. Elevators is noisy and slow. Air conditioning is noisy. Bathroom ceiling has molds. The doors aren't straight anymore. One of the bathroom floor tile is moving. Feels like a $60 motel with beach front view.
