10,0 Wonderful
Pros:Proximity to the beach Ease of check-in/check-out
Cons:Inability to have iron & ironing board; forced to use hotel valet
A
4,5 Mediocre
Pros:Location was good for day activities only
Cons:First impression was the condition of the building, very outdated, very inconvenient ascent of stair from parking lot with all the luggage. Internet never worked in room, even after getting vouchers from staff. Bathroom had moss on floors and outside furniture was disgusting. The breakfast room staff kicked us out when requesting a cup of juice 30 mim before opening due to an early tour we had. Overall very dissapointed.
