Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is perfectly adequate for a quick stay with all necessary amenities, including a microwave and fridge. The ocean-side location adds charm, but not being able to open the window was disappointing. The complimentary breakfast was a nice touch.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. Although the room wasn't perfect with a dead palmetto bug inside and a dated bathroom, the view from the balcony was lovely. The service was top-notch, especially with the staff being so accommodating and responsive to issues like a beeping ice maker at 2 am. The location was convenient, just a block away from the beach and with plenty of dining options nearby. However, the atmosphere around the hotel wasn't the most appealing. The dining experience was a mix of warm and cold options, but the variety was suitable for the whole family.
The hotel is centrally located, making it convenient for exploring the island. The rooms are in need of some maintenance but are generally clean. The service was friendly and accommodating, with a slight miscommunication about the location. The dining experience was decent but could improve with more variety. The facilities are sufficient but not exceptional.
The hotel offers spacious rooms that are larger than a standard 2-bed room and kept basic but clean. The service was friendly and efficient overall, with a few instances of miscommunication. The location is excellent for beach access but may not suit those averse to crowds. The dining experience varied daily and was warm with good choices. The facilities were adequate and served their purpose.
The hotel had a mixed experience. The rooms were beautiful in the evening but had a musty smell. The service was generally nice but lacked accommodation for room views. The location was convenient for various activities but had noise issues. The dining was fantastic with some edible concerns. The facilities were decent overall.
