    I ask to stay for one extra night, so I have to check out and then check in again, prices online were cheaper compared to to front desk prices.

    Check in was easy, rooms are nice and clean, microwave, stove and refrigerator are in the room that good for the families with kids. Rooms with city view has partial ocean view as well. The stuff is nice and helpful. Overall good experience. Nearby some supermarkets, 7/12 and liquor stores.

    First night we arrived, we noted that instead of a promised refrigerator, our room had 2 small wine coolers, which do not maintain the same temp as refrigerators. After multiple inquiries and tactful complaints and broken promises through the front desk, noting happened, so we gave up, and made do with the wine coolers. Later on that evening, the night light on my headboard would not go out, so the might manager had to come to the room to disconnect the wiring. AC was out in the restaurant for the next 2 days. On our last night the right side of the bed electric panel went out, plugs, light and all, so no CPAP machine for sleep. When checking the wiring, everything on that panel was connected via a power strip under the table, which can't possibly be according to code. The pool bar is still under reconstruction. Repairs for hurricane damage a few years back have apparently been cheaply done. We have been going there for years and were disappointed. Staff was courteous and friendly.. Management needs too step up and restore quality to electrical, furnishings, and amenities no longer provided

    It's not that we didn't like it, it's just not a wow place. The price value ratio is not bad, not great either. They didn't clean the room daily, you would need to request it. I didn't like that they would charge one night of your credit card before you check in, and that they would only accept credit cards under the person who made the reservation's name. That's inconvenient! Especially, because I made the reservation, but my husband was going to pay as well, and he couldn't.

    Access to the beach, access to the pool and bar. The location is good. There's a 7 Eleven in front of it.

    Money was put.into the place but.place was a little run down, it was updated and renovated and was clean, bed is uncomfortable pillow is so tiny very uncomfortable. Only one Elevator is working but barely, we stayed at the 5th floor and everytime we go down everyone use stairs because the Elevator button doesn't work in the 5th floor.

    Location was exceptional beachfront, the pool is very nice and has its own restaurant, but the breakfast is not a buffet they give you voucher which you can use for limited order menu but breakfast is made to order which is actually good.

    The room was great minus the roaches. After looking on Google reviews I see this has been an ongoing issue. But my son and I made the best of it. Once I saw the roaches on night 1, I refused to bring any food into the room and opted out of eating at the restaurant. They take their no smoking policy very seriously, knocking door to door to sniff out who was reportedly smoking on the balcony. Apparently they found the culprit who made a big deal about it and had to be removed by police and was charged the fine they threaten you with when checking in. I found this a bit much given the state of having a roach infestation that they clearly are well aware of, yet haven't handled. I'd rather deal with paying guests smoking on their balcony over German cockroaches, but that's just me. Hopefully the fine she paid goes towards the pest control.

    The location was great. The staff consistently kept the public areas clean(wiped down, swept and mopped), including the elevators. The staff was kind and helpful.

    Sadly poor advertising. The tiki bar was under construction and a poor one at that. I hope someone inspects the roof as some of the plywood didn’t match up leaving a large gap they covered in tarp. Water will pool and this will leak. The check in process is very timely. The hotel is understaffed. The attendant at the desk however very patient. I noticed a few employees in the office to the right laughing and talking but should have been trying to assist. The rooms were renovated but the bathrooms lacked exhaust fans and the slider doors were installed poorly. The split ac systems were struggling to work and the floors were constantly damp with humidity. We also noticed a few German roaches In the room. Room service did not attempt to clean our room which was not such a big deal. The restaurant bar area very understaffed. All the soda machines in the hotel were empty as the bar staff was using them to fill mixed drinks. You could not purchase a soda In the bar. I had to ask for rum and coke with no rum. I did enjoy the pool but noticed most of the chairs were cracked and should have probably been thrown out. The hotel told someone over the phone they had a grilling area it was a charcoal grill that had broken legs on a cement pad. I can say that we still enjoyed our time but compared to how this hotel used to run something drastic has changed. Possibly a new owner or property manager. Again the staff was kind just very overwhelmed I feel with the lack of assistance. Such a shame to have a hotel on the ocean that could bring in so much more revenue. The reason we booked this hotel is because we had good experiences in the past. 2nd was rate. The rates were low this time but I still felt it should have been lower. This vibe gives motel vibes. The smell of mold in the lobby due to a faulty loud ac unit should be a sign to seek assistance. Send In some pest control. Would I go again? Maybe not.

    The location is great.

    The hotel in general has a serious pest problem. The first room we stayed in had so many cockroaches that the first by the 2nd day I had killed 11 cockroaches of various sizes, when reported they changed the room for us but the second room still had cockroaches, just not as many as the first room. The hotel has only one elevator which breaks down frequently, and it was a huge inconvenience for us because my wife is an expecting mother, and going up and down the stairs 5 floors was not great. The pool itself was very nice but the facilities around the pool, like chairs or bathrooms, were either broken or unusable. In my opinion the management is at fault here, they are not taking good care of hotel facilities and Travellers experience as a result is suboptimal. To conclude, even with a discount it was an overpriced stay.

    The location is awesome, the staff were polite and helpful. The breakfast was good.
