I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were huge and very comfortable, with plenty of storage and a spacious, clean bathroom. However, there was a strong distinct odor when I first entered the room, and the location was a bit noisy being close to loud party places and a bright street light.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel. The location is superb, just minutes away from the beach and 5th Avenue. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The only downside was the initial strong odor in the room, but it was always perfectly clean and well-maintained. I'll definitely come back for my next vacation!

The hotel is ideally situated between 5th avenue and the beach, offering a perfect location. The rooms are spacious and clean, with a large key chain required. The service is friendly and accommodating, despite some noise in the restaurant area. The dining options are limited, and the pool area could be better maintained. Overall, it's a good value for money choice with a fantastic location.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were extremely clean and large, with a good little fridge, but the presence of a loud fridge with an overheating motor and some maintenance issues like a moldy shower curtain were disappointing. The service was excellent, with very helpful and friendly staff. The location was attractive, right by the beach and close to key attractions, although some amenities were available only upon request. The dining experience, served at a neighboring cafe and not on-site, was the biggest disappointment.
