Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
. The Pros- spitting distance from the ocean, restaurants, 5th avenue, and a very decent soaking pool on the roof. The cons- The bed was hard, and i mean really hard. If you are an early to bed person, remember that this little gem is right in the middle of party central. So it is going to be loud later at night. Overall, for under $50 USD a night it was worth it to us.

The original booked room did not have a window. I had to upgrade and pay out-of-pocket. No hot water in the shower or pressure, AC didn’t work, TV connection didn’t work. The room was not clean. There was no safe in the room. Beach towels were not given easily for some reason.
