I did not like that the area from the front desk to the elevator was dismal - looked like a back door entrance for staff. I did not like that the lounge chairs around the pool were all broken - seats blown out. I did like the renovated bathrooms. Breakfast was fair - dining room was dreary.

Our keycard was not working, we would have to wait for maintenance to come open the door each time. This was something they should have thought about before making rooms available for booking. It was an inconvenience that I would not want to experience again. The counters were sticky and the shower was not clean. There was also an awful stench coming from the room. Very disappointed.

5 stars!

Such a charming hotel! Not too big, just the right size for a cozy and relaxing stay. It’s been recently renovated with a stylish boho vibe that feels both fresh and welcoming. The breakfast was absolutely superb, and the hostess was so warm and attentive. The manager was also incredibly accommodating. Plus, it’s only a couple blocks from the beach! Perfect location and a truly wonderful experience overall. Highly recommend!

Staff was very helpful and friendly. That said, facility was filthy. Carpet was not vacuumed in halls the entire week we were there. Room was only clean twice in our 6night stay. The free breakfast area is an embarrassment to your company. Floors are so dirty they are sticky.
