Hotel is older and located on a noisy intersection. Staff was nice and room was clean with a decent view. Pool was average. Bikes were available. It is walking distance to beach & restaurants. Not sure it’s the best value for the money.

Decent stay

Nice room, good view. Silly policy with the $30 credit everyday for the room to spend - it was confusing how you could use the credit and if it could be rolled over to another day or not. No complimentary coffee in the lobby - had to go upstairs to order coffee to go, very inconvenient because one had to find a waiter to get the coffee, which by the way was $11 for two cups of drip coffee. Pool area just ok - no hot tub. The beach was great - but it is 5 blocks away.

When I reached there I was informed that room is not available as there is some drainage issue. And I was given a room in Lodge hotel. I am still waiting for the compensation from the hotel.

Hotel stay from hell!

The bed was ok i guess because i kept getting up all though the night, because the room was so hot! We got a room with great views but the noise above us was not worth it. Our room was above the dinning room. We ordered food ans never got to our room. We got locked out our room because the door needed to be charged, that took 20 min and the food that i bought got cold and no i can't heat it up because they're no microwave in the room.

One elevator working during my week visit. Longest wait was 18mins for the elevator. Received a daily credit that I couldnt use t But was charge daily. Small pool area. Outside bar wasn't open. Stayed on 10th floor. Restaurant on 11th floor. I can hear people talking and chairs moving in my room from the restaurant. Very disappointed with stay. Hilton needs to do better.

One of the elevators was under renovation, it took 2-5 mins for the only elevator to arrive. There’s no indication whether it’s coming down or up or which floor it was on. It’s quite frustrating with my leg condition. The room was not cleaned to meet the basic standards. Pillows were as flat as pancakes, linens were yellowish and of low quality. Dinner was overpriced compared to the professionalism of kitchen and dining staff. The entire stay was quite unpleasant.

Nice stay aside from the broken elevator. It was also unfortunate only able to recover $30% of my security deposit. Supposedly there’s a $42 parking fee and a destination fee that isn’t mentioned at check in or the Expedia app during booking. There should be more transparency and no excuse for surprise fees from a billion dollar hotel conglomerate.

Safety and Security and Other Issues

While to hotel could use some updating it was a comfortable place to stay. A few issues, the first of which was major: 1. Housekeeping left our door open all day after cleaning one day. We did not get back until the evening, and our door was ajar. I addressed the issue with the Hotel Manager and she said she would look into it and get back to me, that never happened. This is a major security and safety issue that should be a major red flag to anyone looking to stay at this property. 2. There was supposed to be a Fourth of July party from 11 to 7 in the pool area with food at some point. The bar was rarely staffed and no food had been put out all day, at least until we left just before 6. The front desk kept saying they would look into it but it was the restaurant's responsibility. 3. Service at the rooftop restaurant was very poor the first night, but we had outstanding service for breakfasts!

Beautiful Room View

Everything was fine with check in and there was plenty of parking. Walk to the beach was nice as well. My daughter and I entered the room and right away went to look at the ocean view, it was beautiful! The bathroom though was a little hazardous and dirty. There was a screw in the shower stall and nails on the bathroom counter under a towel. There were blemish patches left on a bathroom shelf from a previous occupant.
