Hotel depressing.
Nice location but this hotel needs work. Rooms very dated and small. Common areas dated and worn. Elevator broken. Had to get to room by going outside and thru a back storage room freight elevator. Staff nice but overwhelmed. Big noisy crowds checking in. Felt like a college dorm. I paid for my two day stay but checked out same afternoon.

Staff was really nice and helpful. Rooms over looking the ocean on the higher floors are really nice. It’s a great place if you’re traveling with your pet. The food at their restaurant/in room dining is really good.

Nice hotel, but I have some reservations
Nice hotel, but several hidden charges you must pay at check in. The area around the hotel is not the nicest, so it’s a bit too pricey for what you actually get. Swimming pool area is tiny.

Probably a 3-3.5 star hotel
The pros are location, clean, friendly staff, small bottles of water available in lobby, nice vanity mirror/area, fridge.
Cons are no coffee in the room, no glasses in the room to get a drink, carpet was old. We are up early and had to wait for something to open to get coffee.
