Does Not Meet Expectations
The building is currently under renovation. The pictures online do not even come close to matching what you reserve. Also, if you are expecting and or paying for a room with an ocean view. That doesn't exist... Your view will be the pool and homes. The beach and ocean view is severely obstructed. Rooms need to be completely renovated also. Either a lot of detailed things were missed, or the renovation is being piecemeal by an unprofessional contractor. The side door was being kept blocked open with a small stone because the card reader was broken. Until this location gets their property together and accurate details about the property. Book with one of the larger brands near this location.

Awful
I have been coming for years here they have new management and the hotel is awful. I paid astronomical amount for a hotel that gave me pool towels for the shower. Was dirty, lights not work, the people working were absolutely rude. I understand they were doing renovations but we had no idea the walls were empty and we were in a shell of a room. There was not even water, no coffee or any food options. I had to walk to other hotels for service. I will never go back.

Disappointed
I was aware that they were going through remodeling, but it was more like a construction zone. The lobby was torn apart and checking was at a folding table with completed. The rooms were incomplete and lights did not work in the bathroom, the hot tub had no jacuzzi, when asked for an extra bath towel we got a small pool towel. The restaurant was closed down. They should have discounted the price in this case, but instead I paid over $400 for one night.

Unfortunately, we arrived during construction, and were never given a heads up. We did not know the kitchen would be unavailable, so we had to make other arrangements for breakfast. When we came through the front door we were received with a ladder and a construction worker obstructing the way (no caution signs).The bed sheets were very dirty.

Could be great
The room was supposed to have a jacuzzi. It was replaced with a desk. The hotel is remodeling the entrance and restaurant. The rooms are not being remodeled. The pictures must be from the opening because the room had paint peeling from the ceiling, the locks didn’t work, they gave you exactly 2 towels. No light in the bathroom so we had to move the floor lamp to the bathroom. Also no vents or fans in the bathroom. Tons of mildew in shower and no water pressure. They still trying to charge 250 a night. The front desk people did discount the stay but will def not be staying again.

The property is going through a major renovation. Lobby is being worked on as is the restaurant. No carpet in rooms just hard brand new 'wood-like' floor. Bathroom area had new toilet and beatiful new walk in shower. However, the new sink area was separate with no light above a small mirror. There was a lamp nearby but did not provide enough light to shave. My room had 2 nice queen beds and a huge new lcd tv. There was a fridge and microwave hidden inside a big piece of furniture. The room was advertised as partial ocean view which you really couldnt see but it did have a nice view of the pool and Jacuzzi. Its an old hotel that they're putting money into. Its 4 stories with one slow elevator. Although not right on the beach it has access and the location is great.
