I stayed here because it was close to my venue but wish I had stayed elsewhere.
Pros:

The hotel was near my conference venue.

Cons:

One of the staff members needs to work on her customer service. She was slow getting everyone checked in. Then my keys didn’t work when I got upstairs. I came back down, and she never apologized. I ignored it, however. Then my room smelled like urine. I had to go back once again. I asked to change rooms. She never apologized. The manager was there as well and never offered her apologies or seemed concerned that one of her rooms smelled like urine. I had to say something, and then she proceeded to tell me how she did apologize which was a lie. I never complain, but at least act concerned for making me have to come back twice! In addition, the lights didn’t work in the elevator which was a little scary when you are alone. I will not be staying here again.

I would stay here again.
Pros:

I enjoyed the big window, the black out curtains and overall cleanliness of the hotel and definitely the location.

Cons:

There was a sticky substance on the entire floor outside the bathroom area. I later learned from the front desk that the person who mopped the floor did not dilute the cleaning solution. We were told that housekeeping had left for the day and the problem would be resolved the next morning. No one came to resolve the problem. During checkout, the person at the front desk told us that if she had known we had this issue she would have offered us free breakfast, but she did offer us some snacks as we departed.
The hotel was rather pricey for a one-night stay.

Great facilities room clean.
Pros:

Breakfast not included. Why? Most hotels have breakfast as a pleasant addition and this is very attractive.

Cons:

No Complementary full breakfast. This is a not good and and reduces the rating

It was awful!!
Pros:

Nothing false advertising! There were bugs in our room, hair in pillows and in sheets. The sink didn’t drain. The booking information said this was a beach side hotel, it also said there was free breakfast. We addressed these things with staff and was made to feel like they really didn’t care. Nothing was done to make this right.

Cons:

No bugs for starters!! Room was dirty, hair in pillows and in the beds. Flying ants all over in the room. Sink didn’t drain. Absolutely nothing done by staff. Advertised as beach front and breakfast that’s a lie.
