Categories

Cleanliness
5.3
Multiple reviews report cleanliness issues: reports of bed bugs, carpet smelling like urine, stained blankets, wet/carpet leaks on arrival and pool with debris/bugs — overall below average cleanliness.
Service
9
Service sentiment is mixed but includes several strong positives: 'fantastic staff', helpful morning clerk (allowed late checkout), friendly front-desk interactions; negatives include unattended desk at night and failures to deliver requested soap. Overall leans positive based on frequent praise of staff responsiveness.
Location
10
Location is consistently praised across reviews: excellent/beautiful location, close to bars, restaurants, seafront and marina — clearly a major strength.
Room Quality
5.2
Frequent room problems noted: leaking rooms, soaking carpet, broken/malfunctioning shower heads and fixtures, outlets not working, slow/ineffective AC in some rooms, worn beds and broken lamps — room quality is below average with occasional comfortable rooms.
Amenities
5.6
Amenities show mixed performance: pool is attractive to some but also reported with debris and live bugs; ice machine not working, dryers stealing change, parking garage height limits and paid parking complaints, slow Wi-Fi in reports — inconsistent amenities.
Value for Money
5
Value is questioned: unexpected parking fees, undisclosed breakfast charge, paying for oceanfront with only a tiny sliver view, and at least one guest paying a premium for a poor stay — perceived value is low.
Food and Beverage
6.6
Food and beverage experiences are mixed to slightly below average: complaints about bar/restaurant service and undisclosed breakfast pricing, though specific meal quality is not widely described.
Overall Experience
8.5
Overall experience is uneven: several guests report very poor stays (alarms, long wait for rooms, major room issues), while others note clean, comfortable rooms and excellent location/staff. The aggregate reflects a highly variable experience weighted by strong positives in location and staff.

Location was great
Pros:

Lobation

Cons:

Well the room initially assigned to us had a leak. The carpet was soaking wet as we entered the room. The second room, the shower head was facing all the way up and was unable to move it to take a comfortable shower

Bad experience..
Pros:

10th floor Room was older, restroom faucet handles, etc moved, loose could possible come off. We had to be careful.
Friends were not able to shower due to shower piece to change from bath to shower position came off. It came off while I was showering barely finished rinsing off. Did bring the metal piece to front desk and I informed them of the situation, friends not being able to shower...we were already checking out, stayed one night only... first bad experience, I've stayed here before a few times...it also showed 2 rooms at check in, Glad I had the cancelation notice to show or they were going to charge me extra room.

Cons:

Room on 10th floor was older room... restroom issues sink and shower. All else was good except those mentioned, very frustrating!!

Very comfortable room. Ac worked great. Enjoyed the comfy pillows and blanket. The tv worked well.
Pros:

Room was nice. We enjoyed the pool.

Morning clerk allowed me to stay until 12pm.

Cons:

No one at counter when I went two times. That was at night. I noticed staff there later that night and in the morning but I did not need assistance then.

I did not want to pay for parking. Parked on street.

Definitely would not go back.
Pros:

It was clean.

Cons:

I paid for an ocean front room, and i could barely see it, only a tiny sliver. The pool was trashy and the service at the bar/ restaurant was not good.
