This place was a mess. They renovated but very poorly. Staff which I only see one was not friendly. I booked it with free self parking but after 10 pm it’s hardly any space to park and when I asked the front desk guy he said no extra space be here before 10 or no luck!

The room looked nothing like what the pictures showed. There was a bad odor in the room and a lot of noise going on. The worse part was the bathroom the shower head was broken and in order to stabilize it you had to make sure the water coming out the back would hold it in the right place. Floor was dirty you could hear the dirt on it while walking.

Great Hotel for the price.

Great hotel for the price. Rooms are clean and staff are friendly. Love the location close to the beach and restaurants. Only draw back is the lack of onsite parking if you leave there may not be a space.
