Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had outdated rooms with an additional resort charge and delays in check-in. However, the service was friendly, especially the valet named Mark. The location was a mix of positives and negatives, being close to attractions but also seeing boarded-up buildings. The dining experience offered great variety and quality but could have been communicated better. The facilities were adequate.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although very clean and welcoming, weren't ready until late in the evening due to storm-related issues. The noise levels were quite high, affecting the overall relaxation. However, the top-notch cleanliness and services like fresh sheets and towels were appreciated.
The hotel's location was convenient, within walking distance of various attractions and amenities, but noise disturbances from the lobby bar and street traffic were significant drawbacks. The room overlooked a busy street with disruptive noise throughout the night, affecting the quality of rest. The service fell short of expectations, with unmet requests and inconsistent assistance, although some staff members were polite. The hotel's location offered easy access to dining and entertainment options, making exploration enjoyable, but the noise levels were a concern. The dining experience was satisfactory, with breakfast options available and personalized menu choices. The facilities were adequate, but the noisy environment impacted the overall experience.
I found the hotel to be conveniently located, right on the beach with easy access to nearby restaurants. The rooms were decent but suffered from noise issues due to their proximity to the lobby bar. The service was a mixed bag, with some staff being unfriendly while others were quite helpful. Overall, the value for money was acceptable, but improvements are needed in room isolation and staff training.
The hotel was simply over run with people, making it a bit noisy with car honks audible from the rooms. However, the rooms are clean and it's evident they are undergoing updates. A small convenience store in the lobby adds a nice touch.
