Property was undergoing renovations during my stay, so some facilities were unavailable. However, the staff did their best to ensure guests still had a positive experience. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would happily return. My only complaint is the water pressure in the shower in Room 220, which could definitely be improved.

There is no beach view from the hotel, it's too far inland. There was construction going on that we weren't aware of, so the lobby was rearranged. Our room was clean and lovely, I liked the shampoo and body wash provided, a standard, simple room for a quick stay.

Cute Room, But Some Issues The room was cute, clean, and nicely decorated with modern beach-themed décor. However, the balcony view was disappointing—it overlooked a non-working pool and a parking lot, and the beach view was blocked by other buildings. The elevator was very loud and felt old, which made it a bit uncomfortable to use. I also purchased hummus and crackers from the lounge snack area and the hummus seemed old and upset my stomach. On a positive note, the continental breakfast was simple but good. Overall, the room itself was nice, but some maintenance and quality improvements would make the stay much better.
