Good stay a few set backs

The room was great, staff were amazing. Walls were not sound proof. I woke up at 4:30am due to the people above me walking around with shoes on. From what I could hear they had a sick child. The man next-door made a phone call and we could hear the entire conversation like he was in the room.

Comfortable enough for a night. Newly renovated but missing attention to detail in the finishing of the renovations- gaps in the tile for no reason for instance. Loud at night (it was a Monday night, I could hear conversations 2 rooms away). Parking is tight. Bed comfy.

The room was nicely remodeled with a very comfortable bed. The shower was great and heated up immediately. Staff were very friendly and checked-in every other day for housekeeping. Check-in and check-out was very smooth/quick. Great location by the beach and easy to walk to places.

Non-disclosed parking fee. Was not initially given the room I reserved. Had to go back to the front desk to get it straightened out. Desk staff was clearly miffed that I insisted on the room I reserved. Absolutely horrendously uncomfortable, hard bed. Even though the room was very clean, I expected much better overall experience. Cannot recommend.

Good value despite distance from an event we attended… lots of good restaurants within walking distance. Property rooms have been well re-conditioned. Only drawbacks: need more hooks/olaces to hang drying towels rtc. And AC unot “gurgled.” Staff very friendly and helpful.
