6/10 Good

The positive points of this hotel are its low price, its ideal location close to the beach and several restaurants, and the cleanliness of the room and its amenities, including the kitchenette. The negative points are that the pool seems to be constantly closed, the rooms are only cleaned every three days, and the overall appearance is dated.

Clean room. Great kitchenette and balcony!!! Beautiful view of the city to see the fireworks for new years!! Only downfall was the pool was not working and had been drained and the bubbles in the hot tub didn’t work. Also, front desk was rarely staffed.

Great location, close to shopping and lots of fantastic eateries. Only downside was the pool was closed for maintenance which wasn’t advised at time of booking and the air conditioning in our room was stuck on 17 degrees. Good job I like a cool room.
