    It’s okay property with great location but property is very dated

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The room was spacious clean and well equipped. Nice seating &kitchen area. Shower was a bit hit and miss. Cold water at times.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The street in front of the hotel was also incredibly noisy. I have stayed at other hotels on nearby streets, and they were much quieter. Here, the noise kept me awake throughout the night. Overall, the hotel is extremely old and poorly maintained. You can smell a strong, musty odor as soon as you enter the hallway. The entire property feels run-down and badly in need of renovation. It was a very unpleasant stay.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The hotel property was not clean, and the building was very old with an unpleasant smell. Overall, the condition of the hotel was disappointing and, in my opinion, it was not worth the money.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Everything was well maintained and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. I will definitely stay here again.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Great location Friendly staff Clean Bit outdated

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The location was good but ac did not work well. We experienced rudeness by Lynette S. Working front desk area. AC not working correctly. It barely cooled and did not pull moisture out correctly, so everything felt damp.

    Good

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Location was amazing and the gent who checked us in was fab, I think his name was Brad, man in his late 50s. Hotel room was 1970s/80s decor but we had a huge balcony/terrace. They had washer/dryer facilities. The room was expensive was two of us but if we were a family it would have been better value. Location wise in the heart of it all but very quiet. Expensive and resort fees when you don’t avail of the pool etc.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Convenient location with friendly staff, rooms are outdated in comparison to other properties in the area.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The staff at front desk were exceptionally helpful with activities for us. The location amongst the shops, cafes and restaurants was fabulous. Very outdated room. Needs a modern renovation. Bathroom very small.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Superb

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Location was excellent. Staff couldn’t not do enough for you. Rental of beach chairs etc was great. Valet parking at 35 dollars a night was easy and very well priced compared to every other hotel. Balcony and views on floor 24 was unbelievable. Banyan suite was a great set up for the four of us. ABC store and all restaurants etc with beach 2 mins walk. Nothing
