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

Uma coisa importante que deveria ser informada a todos, o Hotel esta em REFORMA. Estava em uma viagem a trabalho e foi IMPOSSÍVEL trabalhar com o tanto de barulho! Tive uma experiência muito ruim e não recomendo. Quanto a qualidade do hotel, destaco que as toalhas dr banho sao muito antigas e estavam com mau cheiro…

A limpeza dos banheiros muito precária. Pia entupida e muito limo no chão e nas paredes do box. Toalhas sujas, mesmo as q vinham limpas, amareladas, desgastadas e manchadas. Serviço na piscina precário. Pedir hambúrguer? Acabou a carne. Pedir um ovo frito no lugar da carne? Nao tem no cardápio. O garçom nao servia nas áreas da piscina, apenas na cantina. Ainda fizeram cobrança de consumo no sheck out, mesmo a gente assinando o que consumia. Só valeu pela localização. Depois fomos para o IBIS. Mais barato e muito melhor em tudo, quartos, consumo, etc

Hotel 3 estrelas com otima localização.

A localização do hotel é maravilhosa, na orla, avenida litorânea, com varios barzinhos e restaurantes. Longe de padaria, supermercado e farmácia. O cade da manhã é bom e os funcionários prestativos, atenciosos e gentis.
