Loved my stay here! Highly recommend!

American style hotel. Cleaning service every day, very well taken care of, comfortable bed. The room had everything I needed! The rooftop pool and lounge was amazing. The location is super close to shops and stores, and a few minutes walk from the beach. Felt very safe and secure.

The staff here are amazing, all so friendly and made my birthday special by decorating my room and bringing me a cake. Thanks to Flor on reception, but all the staff deserve praise especially housekeeping. The room is great. The breakfast is great. The location is great, 2 mins from 5th Ave and 7/8 mins from the beach. I can't fault it! Though it is worth noting there is no bar. You are so close to several it doesn't affect anything.

This is my third time staying here. Staff is always helpful and friendly. My only issue was some mold or mildew in a few spots in the bathroom. No other rooms were available to switch. They cleaned it as best as they could. Other than that, location is walkable and convenient.
