Pros and cons

We stayed in the old building. Nice staff, clean and quiet place. Bed and pillows weren't comfortable and there were water bottles used in the mini fridge. The air conditioner unit was facing the side of the bed so in order to circulate the air around we had to use the ceiling fan and we ended up with stuffy nose the next day. Pictures are misleading. I'm sure they belong to the new building

Ruff around the edges

We arrived at 5:30pm and the office was closed. I received instructions as to get our key for our room and that was fine. I was under the impression that we had reserved an updated room but that wasn't the case. We were in the older building. Overall the room was fine but definitely did not expect the low to the floor bed,(there should be a FYI to those booking as it's challenging to get up from the bed for those with bad knees, back & hips) a board covering the door where a louvered glass window was supposed to be, paint peeling on the bathroom ceiling and several cords hanging from the TV. It took some time to figure out the TV as there are no instructions. On the positive side...good location, nice pool, AC, complete kitchen and pretty quiet. We appreciated the 2 bottles of water.

A lovely old style hotel - small and friendly - clean and lovely staff - I had somehow asked for the wrong room type - they were very helpful and sorted out an upgrade in a fair and reasonable manner for which I was grateful. The after hours checkin worked well, There are limited (but good) food options nearby - but uber was easy. I liked its quiet setting and mid century charm

Initially I had reserved a "traditional" which I didn't know what it meant. To me it was outdated and needed obvious repairs. The manager was very kind and switched room for a reasonable fee. It was lovely.

I am very glad I found this property. It was very affordable compared to the big name hotels near my conference. I was worried it would be run down but it was very clean. There was a refrigerator, microwave and kitchen supplies which created another way to save money. Very closenthe beach. The owner and his team were so nice. Highly recommend.

Great stay for us as the location was a half block away from family we were visiting. Pool was great for catching some rays. The rooms in the remodeled/renovated building were bright and clean. There was an intermittent/sporadic ticking noise emanating from the ceiling or wall that could be annoying if you were trying to sleep but it was a minor issue.. we would definitely recommend this hotel.

I felt very safe staying at this hotel. The staff was friendly during check-in and was available for assistance during their office hour. The room was adequate and clean, and I enjoyed the coffee machine, large mini fridge and the use of beach towels. Walkable (9-20 mins) to beach, nearby cafes, restaurants and CVS drug store.

Nice place for a weekend getaway

As many reviews stated, there are parts of the hotel that have not been updated. We stayed in a newly renovated building above the pool and it was very nice. Super clean and updated. The staff didn’t interact with guests much which is ok, but would be nice if they checked-in to see if we needed anything. Especially since they only clean rooms every 4 days, proactively offering coffee/water would have been nice. It was a close walk to the beach and restaurants. Pool was clean and warm. Would be nice if some room rates included parking.

We spent 2 nights at the Rolo Hotel January 24 & 25 before a cruise. When we arrived and entered the room (#107), the room was very hot, muggy and smelled strongly of mildew. We cranked the AC up & propped the door open in hopes that the smell would dissipate. I went into the bathroom, and there was a very strong, very bad smell. Because it was after 5PM, there was no one in the office. The next morning we went to the office and told them about the room and smell. The person in the office said that she’d get housekeeping to pour bleach down the shower, but i told her that it wasn’t the drain. She said she’d have them do it anyway. We spent the day sightseeing, and when we got a pack to the room it smelled just as bad. We’d purchased a room freshener while w were out to try and cover the smell, but it didn’t work. I have no idea what the smell was, but it was awful! Before we headed to the cruise port, I went into the office to speak to the same lady who I’d spoken with the previous day. I let her know that the smell was still as strong and that we wouldn’t be staying at Rolo again! She headed to the room to see if she noticed anything, and she did. She said that the bleach should have taken care of the smell - it hadn’t! She said she’d tell the owner, who I never heard from, so I assume this is how they handle other complaints. Never again!!!!!
