First time staying in this hotel. Check in was easy. Room was nice, nothing spectacular. Great location. Convenient to shopping, dining, easy walk to the beach. Room was clean, but a little musty smelling. The stairway leading out had a terrible, stale odor. Bathroom was dark, could use better, or additional lighting. Decent stay for a few days away.

Read your reviews!

Our stay was just “okay”. You can tell this hotel needs some serious upgrade. The bathroom had mold in it and visible stains. It was really humid in the room and the air had to stay on constantly. There was a fan in the bathroom leading outside, which you could clearly see. That was disturbing. It also constantly cut off and on. The bathtub was so gross and grimy. The coffee was absolutely disgusting. Like horrible. Overall the beach access and pool was nice. Staff was super nice.
