Here’s a polished version that clearly conveys disappointment while staying factual and credible: ⸻ The location is the only redeeming quality of this hotel. It’s close to the zoo and the beach and offers a great view. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. The room was very disappointing. The king bed was completely lopsided and extremely uncomfortable. I brought this to the attention of the front desk, but the staff member simply looked at me and took no action whatsoever. The overall energy among most of the staff felt flat and disengaged. This was especially noticeable at the coffee bar, where my coffee was barely warm and the barista seemed uninterested when I mentioned it. Later, when I went to the restaurant for dinner, I was told I needed a reservation for one person—even though the restaurant was half empty. It felt unnecessarily rigid and unwelcoming. I will not stay here again or recommend this hotel, especially when there are plenty of other first-class hotels that actually deliver first-class service.

We had severeal unexpected, hidden fees that came up and almost doubled the total cost of our stay. For example, this hotel requires a $50 per day hotel resort fee be paid for each day of the stay. In addition, the valet fee is $60 per day and there are no other options for parking nearby besides a metered lot that only takes 2-3 hours of money at a time. Lastly, we had some time before our checkout and asked if they were able to watch our luggage in the meantime, and they even charge $2 per suitcase for that. Just a lot of fees to take advantage of travelers who come a long way with limited or no other options. We had booked the room for 4 adults to stay in but our first night we only had 2 towels, and most nights for the rest of our stay we were not given towels and wash cloths for 4 people, leaving one person without clean towels. Lastly, about an hour before we checked out we had a "maintenance man" walk into our room while multiple adults were in various states of undress and verbally/loudly telling them not to. When we brought up the concern to the front desk they did not seem to care. If that was necessary for him to enter our room he could have waited 60 minutes for us to vacate the room or the hotel could have communicated and gotten confirmation that we knew someone would be entering our room. Staying here just added more stress and financial strain than was ever necessary.

We loved this hotel!!!! We are locals who did a stay cay. I would have given it a 5/5 but the water pressure was bad. For the price you can't beat it! We had a premier ocean view room. Yes, it's a tad small but this is an older property so that is to be expected. The customer service was excellent!

Upon check-in, the room was visibly unclean with hair in the bed linens, on the couch, and in the bathroom sink. We did not stay in the room and secured accommodations elsewhere immediately. This was a failure to provide a habitable room at check-in. Since I booked through Expedia, I was unable to secure an immediate refund.

Room was dirty, extremely loud we experienced 2 weddings/receptions in our 1 week stay that lasted until 12am. Also for 4 days straight they were testing their fire alarm system that consisted of random men coming into our room at 8 am AND a speaker that would randomly go off like a walky talky at all random times. Staff was not warm or inviting felt like inconvenience if I asked anything.
