Both receptionists were super nice. They phoned us right when we got off the boat and allowed very early check in without additional fees as our rooms were ready when we arrived at about 11:00 am. When we checked out the next day, they stowed our luggage until 3:30 for us because our boat departed at 4:30. The only disappointment was that the TV was at a bad angle for watching in bed and we couldn’t get coffee at the office until after 8:00am. We were on the 3rd floor and discovered a patio toward the back that was non-smoking as opposed to the front patio which allowed smoking. Both patios could have been cleaned better but we didn’t mind too much as we were just happy to enjoy the beautiful weather and view. The plants in the corridors were beautiful!

Liked: Cleanliness
Walking to the 4th level without an elevator is just too much. I wasn't expecting that. Also, conditioner was missing in the bathroom or the dispenser is not working. Tissue box was small and maybe used and I was run out the first day. I asked to clean the room and the bed and this didn't happen all I got is new towels and box of tissues. I think the pay is too much for the quality of service I received.

The room was quite small ,the Internet did not work. The TV did not work. The pipes in the bathroom sink made a very loud clunking noise. Every time the water was turned on. I would not recommend staying here , over priced for what you get .

I think I'm being generous with the 2 star. The only reason for the 2 star is the close proximity to the main drag. Zero ocean view unless you get suite. The patio was really dirty and old furniture. Cigarette and cigar butts all over the place on the patio. The building is not kept up very well. Hardly any amidites what so ever. So called continental breakfast was sad. Had to pay for small water bottle. Just kind of seemed like the staff didn't want to be bothered. The rooms are very dated. The 2 chairs look like they came from the 60's. Very old, cracked and no padding. VERY uncomfortable. Don't know why they can't update the rooms. I was very disappointed. I expected more. I will defiantly pay up for a better place next time. 8.4 rating on Expedia is very misleading.

Good location, but that’s about all…
Our room had ants and several spiders in the bathroom, as well as a rattling AC unit that kept us up all night. Aside from that, they put us in the room right next to the front office which faced the main road… the road noise was so loud all night. The car lights shone through the window all night long as well, which was difficult to look past considering that the one main wall in the room had 2 huge windows with very thin curtains. We asked to change rooms after our first night and they couldn’t accommodate a room switch even though they informed us that they did have another double queen room on the premises is that was intended for another guest later that evening. Overall super disappointed in this hotel.

Rooms were old, but my biggest issue would be the no elevator and it’s hard for strollers, luggages, and wheel chairs. We had our sign out for maid to clean and they never cleaned our room.
