AC worked, room was clean but spare; no phone and needed airing out upon arrival. Price was primary consideration for staying here. Marriott next door had food & drink, Uber service to & from airport and pier were good.

We did not even check in. We felt uneasy coming in, and talked to a few visitors staying in the hotel. 3 different parties informed us that there was no hot water, and that the rooms were not as clean as expected. We immediately grabbed our bags and went to a different hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The Room was great for what we needed it for. The shower head was messed up a bit and there is no ventilation in the bathroom so you will definitely have to open a window for air but besides that, it was a good experience. Limited parking so if out at the end of the night, you'll have to hope that parking is available. Any additional requests we asked for as far as towels or other things, they were quick to take care of which I appreciated. Great location close to the beach and other shopping and dining. I would stay there again!
