The bad: the Hotel is filthy and smells like mildew. My room was dirty, a giant bug was smeared on the wall when I arrived, the sheets had visible blood stays on them and the floor tiles were cracked. I stayed in room 337 and the bathroom sink is not in the bathroom which is annoying. The good: The hotel is pet friendly and the location is great. Its right on the beach and walking distance to main attractions.

Loved the free parking. Pool was great. Bar at the hotel had a fun vibe and we enjoyed listening to the band from our pool lounge chairs. Speakeasy bar was great for a night cap. Location is perfect and staff was nice. Would have loved to give this place 5 stars. We were put in a room with a connecting door on the 2nd floor. We heard EVERTHING that our neighbors said and did. It was like they were in the bedroom with us. The walls are paper thin. So, when our neighbors woke up with their 3 kids at 6am, so did we. The kids weren't being unruly, they were just being kids, but it prevented us from sleeping in which we were really looking forward to. Please insulate the walls, and then we would love to come back. When we told the front desk staff about it, they apologized and told us they were going to fix those doors/walls so they knew it was an issue. After paying $700 for the night, they could have taken some money off or given us a future credit, but unfortunately, they did not.

Picky sleeper

Hotel was right at the beach which was great; unfortunately, our room faced the parking lot. I am a fanatic when comes to bedding. The fitted sheets were not at all fitted. I’m a restless sleeper so the sheets were constantly rolling up. Very uncomfortable for me.

It was a nice place. There were two fire alarms that went off. That was bad considering my elderly relative had to walk five flights of stairs twice. Housekeeping never replenished the coffee or soap.
