Very nice and cool old hotel. Great view from balconies of ocean, nice clean pool and rec. area. Friendly informative staff. Very good breakfast. Very nice walk in front to nice restaurants. large room, had a room with no windows and it was still OK. Would advise trying to get a room facing the ocean if you are spending time in the room.

Overall our stay went well, but our check-in was a mess. This reservation was prepaid (like dozens of others we’ve made with Expedia). For some reason the front desk agent gave us the hotel’s Expedia receipt he had created which showed the room a total of $63 USD cheaper. We should NEVER have been provided that information. It took some translation to figure out what he was trying to show us. Why, we’ll never know. The pool was great, the included breakfast in the open air sidewalk restaurant was fantastic and the views for sunset from the 4th floor balcony were outstanding.

We rented junior suite with ocean view. Ocean view was the only good thing, this was not a suite, just a regular room with a view branded as a suite. Old, barely working tv and fridge, AC was working but couldn't keep the room cool, very noisy location, with music and karaoke, windows and balcony door with gaps and don't block any noise. There were no toiletries in the room, bathroom door is with glass and huge holes , leaving zero privacy. No blinds - 5:30 am sun will wake you up. Hard to park in very small garage, where people block you car.

The best compliment you can give is an honest comment I found the stuff to be warm and welcoming my only disappointment was the Deco was a little bit dated But found our room to be clean and fresh. By accident I left my phone at the hotel about an hour later I realized that I had lost my phone to be fair I thought I lost the phone somewhere else but my girlfriend contacted the hotel to see if my phone has been found they confirmed that they had the phone. I want put to bed a myth about the breakfast at the hotel, it definitely a good flavor Pinto but the eggs were cold but all around a decent breakfast served with fruits definitely better than average. Honesty and integrity can definitely be found at this hotel I recommend
