Kind of disappointing — they had workers out there building what looked like a new attraction for the park, and we couldn’t rest properly because of all the noise early in the morning. Our room was right in front of the construction zone, so it made it even harder.
But overall, the hotel experience was good.
Everything was great. The parking garage was easy to access and was safe. There was security seen riding on a golf cart monitoring the garage from time to time.
The staff at the desk were super welcoming and greeted us each time we came and left the property.
We had a balcony room, but unfortunately construction was happening out side our window so the view was not the best, we could view the Bay Area and the construction was not taking place at the time so it wasn’t loud or disruptive during our stay. (This would not stop me from returning at a later date.)
The room itself was large and clean. When we arrived it was freezing in the room, but we were able to adjust the temp to our comfort level so again, no problems there. The small refrigerator in the room was just okay, it didn’t keep our drinks super cold, but it seemed to have a problem with the door not closing properly.
All in all it was a nice hotel and I would recommend it to others.
Staff was very friendly and helpful; parking was easy and the room was great (we received an unexpected upgrade). We've stayed before and the standard rooms are also very comfortable. Most everything is within walking distance. Unfortunately, the pool and spa were being refreshed but they said it should be back in operation later in the summer. All in all, a very enjoyable few days. We'll be back in the fall.
The carpet was wet by the window and the room smelled very musty. They gave us a room with a wheel chair shower and it was really hard to shower without getting water all over the floor. The hotel was empty so I am not sure why they put us in that room. There was major construction outside of our window and the pool was closed down. Very underwhelming stay.
We loved that the AC in our room was super cold! But it was disappointing that the pool was closed for repairs and there was no mention of that when we booked. We brought swim suits and planned for an afternoon of relaxing by the pool only to find out it was Temporarily Closed and was only half full of water. I understand that repairs or maintenance must happen, just wish we had notice when we made the reservation.
Not a good place for elderly or disabled people their beds are too high. They only had one handicap room that had a king bed no double beds for for people that need two beds that are handicap or disabled. No bars on the bathroom tubs they commode in the room that I stayed in was too low. It was very hard to get up and down. I’m a disabled person. I couldn’t take a bath for two days and I had to sleep in a chair for two days. They need to get more space and cater to more handicap people. I know when I got there there were handicap people already there because they were handicap places were taken up so they just need to do more for that.
we enjoyed the convenience and the closeness of the boardwalk and seeing the water and the people we had a wonderful room. Everything was great. We were just there for overnight, but it would be a great weekend experience.
Got an email 2 days before arrival the pool would be closed for repairs. Other than proximity to the boardwalk, that was truly the only amenity setting our decision to stay there a part from a more affordable hotel nearby.
We did enjoy our stay, there are a few things that could be better. It was raining and right above our patio door the ceiling was leaking, we put a towel down on the floor, it was only during the heavy rain. We were in room 328. The chair in our room had a material that felt wet. We put a sheet on it and it was fine. It was nice and quite , and the beds where good. Parking was good and the girl at checkout was nice. We would stay again.
This is a cute place but like everything Landry’s, it was just OK, missing something. Had a fridge but no microwave, really? No gym, I would think for the amount you pay we could have that as a minimum. Coffee maker didn’t work. Front desk was bothered when I asked for a new one. Needs updates. Carpet or whole 4th floor had a mildew smell that they tried covering up with a heavy air freshener. We only stayed here for my husbands work thing. Won’t do again. Needs updates. Most of the staff was helpful and friendly. Parking in garage was convenient and a nice plus.
