Staff was the best! Very accommodating and helpful. 10/10 $30 resort fee $45 valet fee Stairs no elevator Rooms had: Microwave, counter sink, mini fridge, small dining table and chairs, ironing board and iron, robes Shampoo and body wash, wasn’t good quality. Beach/pool- towels included Chairs and umbrellas to borrow at no charge, just on first come first serve They offer free hot coffee in the morning and slushy mid day. Their two bed pool side room, is very small for 4 adults. They were able to accommodate us for a suite, super spacious. Our first room had termites in our bed/room and we were change rooms again. Staff helped with our bags and all. The suites on the second floor are outdated compared to the first floor. The couch was newer, and much more comfortable for their pull out bed. The vibe/environment is good. And the decor is aesthetic. But the hotel is very much motel vibes. Super old, and you can see how they just redesigned the surface. The rooms have a mildew smell, restroom doesn’t have a vent, makes it stuffy and hot, shower is super small. The pool and jacuzzi are very old, water looked foggy. Besides the smell, the AC and room fans make it pretty cold in there. The valet guys could be faster and better, they lag it to bring your car out and one guy actually bent the license plate on our rental. We went into their speakeasy, just for a little, their yuzu martinis were delicious Everything is nearby

Black mold in the bathroom counter and shower. Bar soaps and sand on the floor from the previous guests. Dirty and worn carpet throughout. No coffee due to a shortage of espresso coffee beans even though it’s part of the amenity of the $30 resort fee. Not worthwhile saving a little money to stay here. I have learned my lesson again.

Needs a major renovation

Pros - friendly front desk, pool area Cons - about everything else. The hotel is in need of a major remodel. The carpet in the rooms are disgusting! The beds didn’t even have a comforter. We were supposed to have cleaning service every other day but never had it. Had to go to front desk for towels. There is a daily resort fee and only 9 lounge chairs. The speak easy they have at hotel is very loud, long into the night. There is a big step up into the rather small shower.

Great staff. Yummy food, great drinks. Nice launchers. We had room 333 right above the bar. It was loud, so earplugs a must in those rooms. Great rooms, had a nice big fridge and great AC. Everything was clean. They have umbrellas you can take to the beach with you. That was great. Parking at $45 a might is expensive.
