The bathroom had dark dirt or mold in the showers and along the top of the bathroom walls The cleaning staff did the absolute minimum The bed was very uncomfortable, we slept better on the airplane Overall I'd rate this hotel as a 2, it didn't meet half of the it's description, n the only bright spot is its proximity to the beach

the hotel needs a refurbishment, it may be old but the furniture and rooms leave a lot to be desired. For one night it's fine, but I don't recommend it for a long holiday.

This is more like a 2.5 star hotel

Looks beautiful on the outside, great location, but rooms need a major overhaul! Carpets are dirty and not cleaned underneath furniture, housekeeping does a poor job and beach chairs are not cleaned or sterilized between each person using…

Not sound proof, very loud area.

I booked this room because it advertised sound proof rooms, however it was far from sound proof. I had ear plugs in and could still hear the very loud party somewhere in the hotel with screaming and cackling party goers… the party was still going past 5 AM when I left the hotel for my race. I paid online when booking the hotel with fees and all, then showed up only to pay another $29 for “hotel fee” and $35 for off site parking. The room did not have blankets and we had to ask for them at the front desk.
