Property was nice. Most staff was extremely polite and courteous. Just one evening muscular make receptionist was very rude to me in my opinion. And the last day of my stay there was extremely loud construction and banging early in the morning. Other than that, the stay was good. Applause to the breakfast and room cleaning staff!! A

I was looking for a place to do some remote work and relax by the beach. The hotel fulfilled its purpose. The breakfast has enough options from scrambled eggs to breads, coffee to detox juice. The room was comfy and quiet, facing an internal patio. The service at the swimming pool was terrible, I would fix that immediately because it has a great potential. Options were limited in terms of food and drinks. The place is ideal if you love the beach, exercise by the morning and not looking for a luxury experience.

The room is nothing fancy, just a plain room. The top floor pool and bar are nice, I think the only hotel on the strip with a pool. Location is great with beach and plenty bar/restaurants across the street

Precisa reforma estrutural urgente

Segunda vez que fiquei hospedado neste hotel, sendo a primeira a exato 1 anos atrás. Em 1 ano o hotel degradou muito na parte estrutural. Pia gotejando, infiltração, peças enferrujadas do banheiro, ar condicionado com problema (vazando água e desligando do nada), o elevador do andar não acionava o botão pra chamar e tínhamos que descer de escada, piscina interditada (na reserva não falava nada sobre isso), móveis deteriorados, etc. O hotel precisa de uma reforma rapidamente pois está em um excelente local e vai valer o investimento.
