The hotel is older and is undergoing renovations. It may be great when those are complete, but it’s not worth the price for no amenities.

We arrived, room not clean, three hours later they moved us to different room. Got key to room, went up 7 floors, key dosnt work. Went down to desk many others in line because of key issue. The smell of pot every day and night. Next day key issues. Do not go here if you are going to relax. Very stressful..

Our experience was so bad that we decided to switch to a different hotel for the second night of our trip. The rooms are small and uncomfortable, but we would have made it work except that for our second night, we were told housekeeping was not available. This is exceptionally uncomfortable when staying by the beach! On our first night, there were people screaming at the pool, and when we called the front desk, it got better for about 5 minutes before the yelling started again. When we shared all of this with the staff and said we'd be going to a different hotel, they were indifferent - they actually made me stand at the desk while the staff finished up "something else" and then said I could just leave. What a terrible experience.
