SERVICE & TRANSITIONS -- Free early checkin with a 12pm free late checkout. Parking available on site.
The receptionist was friendly and efficient.
Elevators were down & hopefully this gets fixed soon bc the stairs need a LOT of love (dirt, debris, beer cans, etc).
Birds routinely get trapped in the walkway which is sad since they crash into the window panes when startled 💔
Super congested roads for entry & exit, so I'd leave sooner then later on checkout!!
ROOM (walkthrough) -- Room was cozy for its dimensions.
Storage is limited even for 1.
It was displeasing that windows weren't clean while up-charging for the beach view 😡.
Wood flooring was HEAVILY worn too.
Dedicated workspace had some noteworthy features like the marbling on its tabletop
& comfortable seating.
TV & ENTERTAINMENT -- Samsung TV "44 on stationary wall mount.
HDMI ports were still accessible for connecting a GoogleTV.
More importantly: its literally seconds from the Beach!
WI-FI & CLEAR L CELLULAR -- Noticeably congested network with poor coverage across the property. Unencrypted sessions to add insult to injury.

FOOD & DRINK -- DoorDash friendly although there are very few options.
A Happy Hour is sponsored by the hotel in the lobby. The vending machines & ice are accessible on floors. TONS of snack options.
A Medium sized fridge, Mini microwave, & K-cup coffee are provided in-room
BED -- Swaddled in premium bedding & falling asleep to the waves was great.💕
Some of the best sleep you'll ever have on vacation.
BATH -- Medium sized bath space.
An awesome aesthetic on-theme with the area with a huge vanity for all your things.
A 'Decent' shower experience. So much room for improvement though: the tub needs an anti slip mat (con cuidado!), water pressure was weak, & towels are on the smaller side but have a good weight and absorbency.
Robe texture was unique and felt nice on the skin.
The Bath products provided are unlabeled so use at your own risk?
NOISE & LOCATION -- The area felt safe. It can be a noisy stay with the wrong guests.
The building itself makes a lot of creeks, bumps, and such.
VERDICT
An enjoyable environment with a mix of conveniences. It's underperforming in turnovers & maintenance though.
Despite this, I'd begrudgingly stay here again & would recommend it.
3.5/5⭐️
