This is a clean hotel with a terrific location for people wanting to spend their days at the beach!

8.0

The location was unbeatable. The hotel is just a step away from the beach and has wonderful beach views. There are restaurants and even a surfing school right outside of the hotel. The room was clean and had a great balcony overlooking the pool and beach.

The air conditioner was a bit annoying. It would constantly go on and off in the middle of the night. We tried opening up the windows, but being we were there on a weekend in August, late night fun was being had outside and the sound funneled into our hotel room with the windows open. We were aware we were staying in a busy and exciting location, so we were not surprised by the noise. Parking was satisfactory, but some of the spots were a tight fit. We also wish our room had a shower and not a tub. The tub was a bit hard to climb into. Because of the surfing school on the beach in front of the hotel, you are unable to swim in the water without a boogie board or surfboard. You have to go south or north of the hotel beach.

Great staff great location needs updating

5.0

I love the location of the property. The staff was very very friendly. Unfortunately, I had a junior suite that when the couch was pulled out, it completely blocked walking out the front door. I had to go sideways and shimmy my way around. Also, the bathroom was rusted and in poor repair.
