Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests overwhelmingly appreciated the hotel's beachfront location and proximity to attractions, with a few mentioning friendly staff and good value for last-minute trips. However, the majority of reviews expressed strong dissatisfaction with cleanliness, citing dirty rooms, unpleasant odors, bugs, mold, and unclean bedding. Service was also criticized, with reports of unhelpful staff, reservation issues, and lack of basic supplies like towels and toilet paper. Amenities such as the pool, elevators, and in-room facilities were frequently described as broken or inadequate. Some guests found the beds uncomfortable, and safety concerns were raised due to the general condition of the property and its surroundings. Overall, while the location is a highlight, significant improvements are needed in cleanliness, service, and amenities.
