The hotel is in a great location, with shops, restaurants AND the beach within a very short walk. The pool was clean and the perfect temperature! The air conditioner in our room worked extremely well, but was quite loud. We opted to use the ceiling fan most of the time. The staff was friendly and attentive.

Location is great and I like that there is a Mexican restaurant and shops adjoining. Suite was good sized for the price and plenty of storage. Bathroom was too small. No room to do much but at least there was a vanity of sorts outside the bathroom. The ceiling had what looked like exposed wiring with open junction boxes and the bedrooms smoke detector had no battery. If these things are not active and not required by law due to the sprinkler system why aren't they removed and the boxes and wiring removed. A little scary.

The place was really old and run down. Totally needs a overhaul. They forgot to notify us when are room was ready. Had to climb 10 steep stairs with suit cases. Room was big and had everything you needed but the bathroom was rediculously small. No hot water in the morning ever. No light in closet. Tried to use their grilling area and they were suppose to meet us and give us supplies never did. It was our 18th wedding anniversary that we celebrated and they did nothing to help this trip be special

This trip was fantastic. I had a room that was so quaint and wonderful. Tile in the bathroom and kitchenette. Lovely. Regular fans that work. I prefer character to something new and slick. This was the perfect place for me. The only bummer here is the parking. It is off site or street side. But I can live with that.

Liked: Staff & service
My stay was okay overall, but there were a few things that could have been better. The carpet in the room did not appear to have been vacuumed, and the extra blanket in the closet was stiff and smelled dusty. The AC would release a funky smell when the temperature was above a certain threshold. The hotel was notified and a technician looked into it, but the issue continued. I had stayed here before and had a great experience, which is why I decided to stay here again. Unfortunately, this stay was not great. I do think the hotel has a lot of potential, and I hope these housekeeping and maintenance concerns can be addressed. On a positive note, I really appreciated the messages we received before arrival, during our stay, and on checkout day. That communication was a nice touch and I hope it continues.
