Chose this location because it was near the beach and had high ratings without being outrageous pricing. The first thing we noticed was the elevators seemed older and "jumpy" and some other patrons also seemed concerned with safety. The bathroom was definitely dated, had some damage on the shower curtain mounts, mold in the bathroom, and was extremely small. The drains for shower and sink were slow to empty, making a tub full of water when showering an unpleasant experience. The bed was medium comfortable, but I the sandy sheets (getting into the first night you wouldn't expect clean sheets to be sandy) take a few points off the comfort level. We were unsure what the AC was doing, but trying to put it on a basic "auto 70" at night would still freeze the room and we would wake up shivering at 3 to shut it off. It was also loud, which my husband luckily brought earbuds for. Overall the hotel would benefit from a floor by floor refresh of cleaning, painting, and refreshing.
The balcony view was nice, as well as the polite staff, and convenient location where you could walk out right to the beach.
