Well located , wonderful stuff, the front beach itā€™s wonderful and beautiful, the beach access starts 7 am and close at 7 pm . It will be wonderful if the access get extended more hours . The only one negative point on my stays and make me donā€™t return itā€™s about the smell inside the room and corridor . I donā€™t know if this happened some water damaged because of the hurricane or not , but the smell very , but very strong made my days inside very difficult. I left window and door opened all night and I couldnā€™t sleepy well .

The staff, the location and accessibility of the restaurants in the surrounding area made up for the lack of amenities. The pool was closed and the bar was closed. The cafe food downstairs was horrible but service was nice. Our room needed to be updated there was no fan in the bathroom and the decor was outdated with stains on the walls. Lightening was horrible. All in all it wasnā€™t a bad stay. Like I said the staff was chefs kiss and the location is great. They are literally located right on the beach. Overall a solid 7.5/10

Pros: Location is great. People and staff were all wonderful and made the trip very nice. The beach was roght off the back area of the hotel Cons: the room requested was nothing to what tje promoted images shown on Orbitz.com. the rooms/halls seems they have not been renovated since the 70's. Tile cracks, walls peeling, smelly carpet, foam low ceilings, balcony had cement fallen off. Breaksfast was not included even though it was promoted. I would not had paid the amount of money i did, knowing the poor quality and conditions this was in. The pool was not in working conditions. We couldn't enjoy that ammenity, yet no credit or power rate was offered. I do not recommend nor will stay here again for that amount of money spent

This property is located on the beach, so it's great. The property itself is old an in need of a major update. The room was spacious and had a balcony. There was a mildew smell throughout. There was rust on the doors to the balcony. The bathroom had very outdated fixtures. There was a leak reported upon check in and it was never addressed.

It was my second time staying due to rooms with kitchens. This time our rooms were not serviced as they should be . Stains, no towels no maid service. No hot water, we were told to flip breaker when need hot water by a very rude service tech. When we brought our issues to front desk , she reminded me of the rates we paid so what do we expect!! I will be reaching out to higher ups for a refund or compensation for the unacceptable condition.

I'm a dad and bought my teenage son here for a little weeklong getaway in 11/2024. Overall good experience staying here though room furniture and 6th floor hallway (to a much lower extent) had a musty smell that permeated the air. Also, when we arrived we had no cold water, but someone immediately came to the room and fixed the issue, and I mean IMMEDIATELY. The guy was at the room before my kid even got back from the front desk to tell them about it. It went out again a day or two later. That time, maintenance didn't come as quick, but it was fixed for the rest of our stay. Look, I must shout out all staff here, everyone from the security in the front, the check-in clerks, the man at the beach gate, and the housekeeping and maintenance staff.. even the lady working at the traffic arm gate. My son and I went in and out of the hotel all hours of the day and night and they were always friendly and pleasant if I had any questions or issues. Even just for small talk. They definitely add value to this hotel. The kicker on top was 7AM on my last day when my phone fell down the trash chute on the 6th floor. I went down and told a worker that was just doing his thing in the lobby, and he without delay radio'd a coworker. We went into a filthy trash compartment room, and after a little bit of work, they were able to hand me my phone within 15 minutes. So I have zero beef with the staff here and wish them the best.
