Property was nice. Most staff was extremely polite and courteous. Just one evening muscular make receptionist was very rude to me in my opinion. And the last day of my stay there was extremely loud construction and banging early in the morning. Other than that, the stay was good. Applause to the breakfast and room cleaning staff!! A

I was looking for a place to do some remote work and relax by the beach. The hotel fulfilled its purpose. The breakfast has enough options from scrambled eggs to breads, coffee to detox juice. The room was comfy and quiet, facing an internal patio. The service at the swimming pool was terrible, I would fix that immediately because it has a great potential. Options were limited in terms of food and drinks. The place is ideal if you love the beach, exercise by the morning and not looking for a luxury experience.

The room is nothing fancy, just a plain room. The top floor pool and bar are nice, I think the only hotel on the strip with a pool. Location is great with beach and plenty bar/restaurants across the street

Estadia OK

Hotel com bom atendimento, porém com estrutura antiga e simples. Cama pouco confortável e roupas de cama bastante gastas. Café da manhã com boa variedade de opções, mas nada exepcional. O valor da diária está um pouco acima do que o hotel oferece, poderia ser mais adequada.

Hotel em obra e recebendo clientes.

O hotel estava em obra e segundo informações de funcionários, iria prosseguir por muito tempo nessa condição; quando foi feita a reserva e até o check in, não me foi dada nenhuma informação a esse respeito, quer pelo hotel, quer pelo Hoteis.com; teve dia que tive que sair do quarto devido ao barulho infernal. O hotel, realmente precisa de obras. O correto, ao meu ver, deveriam fechar o hotel, fazer um mutirão e então receber os hospedes, não submete-los ao constrangimento e desconforto.
