Cons:

During my stay the Hotel were building new Cabins = Construction Side.

The room had a very intense smell, smelled fresh but gave me headache. Maybe it was new paint or something else.

Beside that I can recommend the place. Really close to the Food Market and Beach.
Nice Pool.

Too pricey, picky and no flexibility from staff!
Pros:

I like the closenesses to the strip.

Cons:

The price was too much considering they wanted us out by 12pm and would not even allow us to stay and use the facilities for the day and couldn’t leave my vehicle there to walk the strip.

Overall good.
Pros:

Location is good walkable to all the restaurants and bars in the area.

Cons:

The location isn’t good if loud noise bothers you. The showers and sink were salt water which is just odd and no hot water in the shower.

Comfortable stay for the price
Pros:

The pool was nice and clean and so where the rooms.

Cons:

No warm water in the shower which made it hard to bathe little children after the beach.
