Reviews and Ratings
I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The rooms were bigger than we expected, clean, and featured a large comfortable bed. The staff was extremely kind and helpful, going the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable. The location, being so close to both the main street and the ocean, was fantastic. However, the dining options were not as varied as I would have liked.
The hotel offers amazing sea view rooms that fit 4 people comfortably for a slightly higher price than the 2-person rooms. I really liked the cozy setup between the rooms. However, some parts of the hotel may seem better until you actually arrive.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms are quiet with soundproof windows, a comfortable bed, and a nice bathroom. The modern decoration really impressed me. However, the AC could have cooled the room down more effectively.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room had a beautiful view and a balcony, but climbing 66 stairs with no elevator or handrail wasn't the most convenient. The room itself was spacious with a couch to relax on, but unfortunately, it felt smaller than expected, especially in the scorching 37-degree summer heat.
My stay at the hotel was quite convenient overall. The rooms have balconies overlooking the main strip, although there was a minor inconvenience of having to wait for a few minutes at reception. This hotel is perfect for those not wanting to carry luggage uphill as parking is not available on-site.
