Property was nice. Most staff was extremely polite and courteous. Just one evening muscular make receptionist was very rude to me in my opinion. And the last day of my stay there was extremely loud construction and banging early in the morning. Other than that, the stay was good. Applause to the breakfast and room cleaning staff!! A

Liked: Cleanliness
I was looking for a place to do some remote work and relax by the beach. The hotel fulfilled its purpose. The breakfast has enough options from scrambled eggs to breads, coffee to detox juice. The room was comfy and quiet, facing an internal patio. The service at the swimming pool was terrible, I would fix that immediately because it has a great potential. Options were limited in terms of food and drinks. The place is ideal if you love the beach, exercise by the morning and not looking for a luxury experience.

The room is nothing fancy, just a plain room. The top floor pool and bar are nice, I think the only hotel on the strip with a pool. Location is great with beach and plenty bar/restaurants across the street

Péssima experiência.

Horrível, eu aluguei um quarto por um preço absurdo, e passei 3 dias com um barulho infernal de um condensador de ar, e além disso o quarto não tem visão nenhuma, uma janela de frente pra um muro, e outra coisa parece quarto de motel.
