I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, right on the beach and near great restaurants, but the service was lacking. The rooms were clean but pretty small, and I was particularly disappointed with the breakfast options, which didn't meet my expectations. Overall, it's a decent spot with a few areas that need improvement.

I had a good stay overall at the hotel, thanks to its spacious and clean rooms. The location is fantastic for beach access and nearby dining options. The service was great, especially from the friendly staff, but I felt the dining options could improve, especially at the prices they charge. Despite that, I enjoyed my trip and found it to be a solid value for money.

I had a decent stay at this hotel, with a fantastic location right on the beach and close to plenty of dining options. The rooms were clean and had a lovely view of the water, but they were a bit old and the TV was rather clunky. The staff was somewhat friendly, though I did encounter a few that were a bit rude. While the dining area offered good food, the service was lacking at times. Overall, it could use some improvement in service and facilities, but it was a good deal for being so close to the beach.

I had a stay at a hotel that really highlights the pros and cons of vacation accommodations. On the bright side, the location is unbeatable, right on the beach with stunning views. The rooms were clean, but quite grungy, as they seemed to be in need of some updates and were a bit noisy at times. The service was friendly, but my request for a quiet room went completely ignored. Overall, it had its highs and lows, but if you love the beach, this place has you covered.

The rooms were visually okay, but they felt pretty grungy. However, I really appreciated having a fridge with complimentary water and enjoyed the awesome view from the sliding glass doors of the beach and pier, although that will soon change with renovations.

The service was a mix; while I found the staff at the coffee shop to be incredibly friendly and professional, my request for a quiet room was completely ignored upon check-in, which felt quite disrespectful.

The hotel had an excellent location right by the beach and near restaurants, and the view from our room was amazing. However, the cleanliness was hit or miss - some rooms looked unused while ours was well-kept. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made a difference. Overall, it felt like good value for the price considering the amenities and access to the local attractions.

Our room was on the 8th floor and was clean with a ridiculously awesome view out the sliding glass doors of the beach. It would have been nice to have a rug to help manage the sand coming in, but overall, we enjoyed our stay.
