Pros (+) Front desk agent was very friendly and she made the process smooth and easy.
Cons (-) They didn't service our room for 2 days even after requested. No hotel extras such as robe, slippers, shaving kits etc. walls are extremely thin and you can hear everything next door to you. Someone walked in our room even with a do not disturb sign on. Wouldn't recommend unless you are desperate for a place to stay.
Pros (+) Location, responsive staff, decent price
Cons (-) Wifi went out, breakfast was minimal for the fee, room we requested was not ready at check in.
Pros (+) The AC was nice and strong. Room was nice. Location was even closer to the beach than we expected and, although touristy, in a really fun area with lots of restaurants. Also enjoyed the discount offered at many of those restaurants. Enjoyed having a safe to use to put our minds at ease. Recently remodeled room. LOVED having beach chairs and umbrella to use on the beach! That made our trip!
Cons (-) The continental breakfast was full of cheap, simple carbohydrates with little else. We went twice during our week long stay. Housekeeping did not always restock our room with amenities, i.e. coffee, soap, etc. Would have been nice to have a dresser to put our clothes and the room was pretty small.
Pros (+) The location
Cons (-) -The room was advertised a a double budget. Got there it was only one bed. When i asked about it the front desk manager said he did not know what to tell me and no more rooms were available -Saw two or so small roaches in the room -There was a stain on the sheet when we first arrived -The room had a really old musty smell -Room was not cleaned everyday
