This is an overall nice hotel in a convenient location. Basic rooms, you have to give a deposit for blankets. Only 1 block from the beach and directly across from Coco Bongo. People are loud ALL NIGHT out on the street. I just put on white noise to sleep. Staff was very nice and they had private security at night

The code to the door lock malfunctioned multiple times. They didn’t have extra towels to supply when needed. If you just a place to sleep close to 5th street and the beach this is good for that.

Arriving at the check-in of this hotel I could feel a strong stench of sewage from the lobby inside. Much worse, there is no elevator, and therefore the lobby is very dirty. Thinking times before booking will make your vacation a nightmare.

I liked the localization, I didnt enjoy the beach club. I liked the pool, I didnt like the TV was blocked. I liked the food in another hotel, I dint like that it was mandatory to pay for it. I liked the room but the hotel needs general maintenance. Thank you.

Great staff! Clean rooms but there was a lot of mold on the property, but not in the room. The sliding glass door to the balcony didn’t lock and it was a shared balcony! My friends room had no blanket.

The staff tried to be helpful after asking a few times to be moved. The smell in the first two rooms they put us in was so horrible I slept on the balcony the first night cause the smell was nauseating that was coming from the sewer pipe in the bathroom. Very noisy in the front. They put us in a room in the back and ithe smell wasn't as bad and it was quieter. Breakfast was good and served buffet style.

Pros: generally nice, great location, friendly staff, rooftop is great Cons: they hit me with a mandatory fee in person for breakfast and beach club entry. They didn't have change. Low water pressure in the bathroom. No one came to clean my room while I was there.
