Overall a really good stay, if you are on the first floor like we were it can be very noisy throughout the day with guests above stomping around or going to the ground floor to get ice. The only true downside was the noise as the room we were in was a conjoined room that was vacant until our second day, we could hear everything very clearly in the other room. All the staff and amenities were nice!

My room was on the first floor just steps away from the beach. The complimentary breakfast was good but seating was limited inside, there's still some nice outdoor seats nearby. I liked the recent renovations in my room especially the bathroom, but seems like some minor items weren't replaced (e.g shower bar and drain). My room also didn't have any wall pictures or decorations at all, which is odd given the great beachfront location. Overall I got good value and would consider returning if I get competitive rates again.

The room we reserved was NOTHING like how it was portrayed online. Upon entering the elevator was very rundown and unsafe. The room we stayed in had roaches (which wasn’t discovered until the night before we left) as well as the entry light did not work. When brought up to the clerk while returning our room keys, there was no apologies or any type of action to make it right. The person basically smirked and acted like it was normal and blamed it on the air conditioner!! The amount we paid for what type of condition we stayed in was downright pitiful! I wouldn’t refer anyone to stay there.
