This property is a nightmare! I will never stay here or recommend it to anyone. I was checked into a very dirty room, inside and out. They switched my room due to the inconvenience, but the nightmare continued. The door to the patio kept getting stuck, stained sheets, people with congregate outside my door to have conversations, they left a very loud fan in the hallway in front of my room to keep the floor dry leading to the pool area, lastly there was a hole in the hot tub (which was a like warm soaking tub, no jets can be used). When I went to discuss with the hotel personnel, he was not helpful, tried to compete with me on who hadn’t had a vacation the longest and did nothing about the problems and refused to switch me to another room beans he said the hotel was full. I later found out upon checkout that he was lying and additional rooms were available. This place felt very unsafe. Housekeeping would just walk into your room without knocking, multiple times a day. Hotel has a dank order to it. Overall NIGHTMARE! The best thing about this place is that it’s walkable to the beach, shops and restaurants…. so u can stay away from it most of the day. Do not book at this place unless you’re ok with living in the slums and poor customer service. You have been warned

DO NOT BOOK! Mold in room, dirty towels, broken items, hair in the drain, nothing is as promised or looks online, WiFi doesn’t work either. $45 to park and a $45 resort fee that should include waters and champagne only one water was provided. Staff knocking on the door before check out asking when you will leave, the list doesn’t end! Not worth any $$.

Great location and room, decent property, no wifi

This is a hard review to write. The hotel's location is fabulous. Literally steps from the beach and the art deco district and all the nightlife and shopping. But there is a reason it's less expensive than all the other options, most of which I expected. It's an older property and has all the drawbacks of an older property...slightly aging look, etc. But the room was great. Large king bed, spacious, kitchenette, huge balcony, etc. If you are looking for a comfortable place to stay and will be out and about most the time, definitely stay here. I was there for a conference, unfortunately, and the Internet never worked during my entire visit. It was on, off, off, on for a minute, off. I probably rebooted my computer 750 times that week. To be fair, the hotel refunded my daily resort fee, but I would have rather paid it and had Internet instead of having to run across the street to Starbucks constantly. The pool is fine, but there is no pool bar (if you are looking for that kind of thing). The customer service....the woman at the front desk is LOVELY! She learns your name and goes out of her way to help. You can tell she loves working in hospitality. The night time front desk guy was kind of a jerk and suprisingly rude. Probably not an issue for most, but just a note as to why I marked customer service down a notch. If I called down during the day, she always answered. When I called at night about the Internet, it would literally ring for 30 minutes before he picked u

The property was old and outdated especially for the price. Scuff marks and holes all over the walls. Tile was old and grout was dirty. The corners were dirty. Drawer had handle falling off which I put back on. It was advertized as personal spa on the balcony. Which really was a bath tub since jets are not allowed.On the positive side the staff was nice and location was awesome Thr room was large and balcony too. It overlooked the busy street.

I liked the location. Our room was nice and clean. The common areas of the facility were terrible. I was embarrassed to bring my girlfriend there. The hallways were dirty and dilapidated. The door to our room would not lock. The door to our room is delaminating at the bottom. The door itself along with the lock assembly need attention badly. The elevators didn't work.

The room itself is fine, but the property is not going to impress you. Pool is adequate, location is great, but the restaurant/lobby/hallways etc. are in need of an upgrade. There is someone stationed in the elevator as one of them didn't work and the other is barely works. You need to knock on the closed doo on the upper floors or phone down to have the elevator come up to get you. It was nice to have beach chairs reserved for us, but the beach towels could have have been better and more of them. For the money this place was less than mid, but the location is key and again the room itself was fine.

Zocean is no way a 4 star property. In a suite, they do not have a sofa bed, but they have two bathroom! Service at the reception only does check-in and check-out. When I raised the point about sofa bed, they stated that if we have a rolling bed we will put it. I had to call Expedia to get addressed. Their internal door to the balcony on 2nd floor would not lock. Why do not they say that the property is under renovation on 2nd floor. I will never go to Zocean again. Overall bad experience
