Late check in, clean. Apartment with kitchen amenities. All clean and nice.
Parking on the street, beware of parking fees between 10am - ?pm
All good, recommended.
Staff was wonderful. Room was very nice and the pool area was great! We were there for a month and really enjoyed it. One exception was the hotel is noisy. You can hear the furniture moving around above you and people talking outside your room. It can be frustrating.
Rooms are nice . Staff was happy. very nice pretty pool area . I love that it’s not right by 5th ave so it’s quieter but still walking distance to 5th ave .
We had an amazing stay, would highly recommend! The only negative was that we had some tiny ants in our room, but everything else was wonderful. The rooftop pool was a big highlight. We also really liked the neighbourhood, it’s close enough to easily access the main strip and beaches, but it’s quiet and has lots of great spots to eat nearby.

Someone else had a room key that unlocked my door. The people at the front desk don’t know what they’re doing.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The bathroom smelled bad (very humid as if coming from sewage), ventilation was bad and there was mold. We only stayed here for 2 nights and were outside most of the time. The room itself was clean but the bathroom was bad. I would not stay here again.
Room was clean ,staff was happy and helpful, great pool and also the place is in the perfect location ,not far from 5th ave and far enough away for restaurants and stores to be cheaper.
