The space was nice, but no fridge in the rooms. Very noisy with all the construction going on. Parking super tight and of course an extra fee. Beds not that comfy, like sleeping in a ditch. The best is tge convenient beach acess.

I’ll start this review by saying that I rarely leave them. Sleep is just an incredibly important integral part of me being able to enjoy a vacation, of which, this hotel does not permit. The room was extremely small, but clean, and the location was awesome. That said, you could hear every minute sound happening both in the rooms above you, as well as outside of the door. The cleaning crew pushed a cart past my room at 9am that was so loud it sounded like it was inside the room, causing me to awaken suddenly startled (after a night of horrible sleep as is thanks to the room above). The room didn’t have a blow dryer despite advertising it would. I notified the front desk, and they told me they’d need to take one from another room, which let me know that someone else’s room is now going to be missing a blow dryer. The remote didn’t work to the tv, of which, I also notified the front desk about. They knew of this as being an issue, but they didn’t know how to remedy it so they provided me another remote with hopes that it would do the trick. I ended up having to use both remotes for the tv — one to change the channel, and another for the volume. Definitely a minor issue, but one that might matter to some. All in all, this hotel gave bigtime motel vibes and for a steep price at that. Definitely wouldn’t recommend staying here unless your only concerns are location and cleanliness and you don’t require sleep.
