Staff were great. Location is spot on. Rooms are small, but to be expected from a property that originally opened in 1931. We requested a balcony room and, unfortunately, ended up by the regularly utilized ice machine and above a party venue. I sang along to the first couple hours of music (sound deadening was clearly NOT a thing in the 30’s), then put my headphones in for the last 2-hours. They shut it down at 10pm promptly, but if you’re looking for an early turn in, I suggest you verify where your room is located at check-in. We were in bldg 1 on the 2nd floor above Cafe Lido. We had breakfast at Costa Kitchen and enjoyed some delicious lemon ricotta pancakes, avocado toast, and a farmers breakfast, all of which is delicious. Being directly across the street from the beach doesn’t suck either.

This is an older property. Overall nice facility and friendly staff but the plumbing noise woke us up throughout the night and we had to change rooms. New room was better, but still heard the plumbing and the elevator. The Lido bar ha really good food and Kiran the bartender was the best. Staff at Costa (especially Danny) were great.
