Great location and staff was so nice and helpful! Is a Party location next to the beach. If you want a quiet room ask for a room away from the street. The restaurant was great with great food next to the beach. Rooms were clean and spacious just as shown in their pictures. Is a great hotel if you want to be next to the busy downtown area. Walking distance to the ADO bus and Walmart.

I loved the modern vibe and the great pool. The location is excellent, and overall it’s a fantastic stay. The only small improvement I’d suggest is updating the beach club lounge chairs, as they’re a bit worn, and possibly adding a parking partnership with a nearby parking lot.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The price was fair for the location on 5th Avenue and right in front of the ocean. The hotel is clean and the bed was comfortable, but the property clearly needs renovation. The toilet area felt very small and somewhat claustrophobic. There is also noise at night from nearby restaurants and music from the surrounding area. I personally sleep deeply, so it didn’t bother me, but light sleepers might find it an issue. Overall, it’s a reasonable option for a short stay if you want an affordable beachfront place in a very central area.
