Categories

Cleanliness
6
Multiple reviews mention mold, musty/funny smells, stained or chipped tubs and carpets with water leaks; cleanliness and maintenance issues are recurring.
Service
8.5
Mixed reports: several guests describe rude or unhelpful/harassing staff and a manager incident, but other reviews call staff great and accommodating — overall service is inconsistent but has strong positives.
Location
10
Consistently praised across reviews: beachfront, ocean views, balconies and proximity to the beach are major positives.
Room Quality
7.5
Beds and balconies are liked and AC sometimes works well, but there are repeated maintenance complaints (cracked tile, stained/chipped tubs, loose shower head, non-working mirror lights, AC leaks).
Amenities
8.5
Breakfast buffet variety and hot tub/pool exist and are appreciated, but guests report elevator outages, parking paid separately, noisy adjacent venues and limited pool access at times — generally good but impacted by operational issues.
Value for Money
6.5
Several guests call the property expensive and note extra charges (parking); with the maintenance and service inconsistencies, perceived value is below average.
Food and Beverage
9.5
Breakfast is frequently praised for variety and quality (buffet), though some guests noted shortages, limited egg options and unclear hours; overall F&B is a strong point.
Overall Experience
6.7
Overall mixed experience: exceptional location and generally good breakfast but recurring cleanliness, maintenance, noise and staff-incidence reports lead to a below-target overall impression for many guests.

Decent for 1 night only
Pros:

The bed was comfy and AC worked

Cons:

Doors could be heard slamming all night and morning. Its actually what woke me up before my set alarm.

The tub was stained and had chipped marks, the shower head did not hold its place when adjusted, making it awkward to use.

By 830am only 2 sausage links were left for breakfast.

Seems to be a bar or something like that next door with outside seating, as we arrived there was a female yelling very loud.

Pros:

Location and comfort

Cons:

I left my new boots upon checkout. I called and they said they weren't there, but my wife knows she left them in the chair thinking I was going to pack them up. My fault for leaving them, but who took them?

Disappointed, the location and staff has gone down hill.
Pros:

The location is nice because it is close to the beach.

Cons:

Rude and unhelpful afternoon staff, had to pay for parking when next day told that we were allowed parking passes, poor quality breakfast, air conditioners was leaking water in the carpet and the whole hotel had a funny smell.

Not a good place to stay for vacation
Pros:

Some of the staff was about them self,would not fix problems, the people in the room over us was very loud,jumping and running around both Friday night and Saturday night, this went on for hours and late, the staff was in the lobby playing around being loud and unprofessional, the manager came beating on or door very hard asking us if we was smoking, I told her we don't smoke, then she said some one on this 2nd floor is smoking, what does that have to do with me, I only got to use the hot tub once out of the 5 nights we stayed,I had to asked them serval times just to get my room cleaned then they lied and said we had a sign on the door not to clean,later on we went down to the swimming pool area there was 4 people loud and drunk,playing their Spanish music and singing very loud then the Fat guy started talking mess to my wife and she didn't even say anything to them, they should have kicked them out of the hotel. The hotel seems like it needs some up grade, I will never stay at this hotel again.

Cons:

Poor hotel, disappointed

Hotel by the beach
Pros:

The staff was great and very accomodating.

Cons:

An expensive hotel, and you still have to pay for parking separately. There was mold in room and restroom. When going to my car early in the morning they shut off the lights outside on me.
