"Very nice place right on the beach. Staff was very friendly. I liked being a couple of blocks away from the party area. It was close enough to walk to but when you returned to the hotel it was quiet. There was also a grocery store a block away. In my book it really is a great location. "
"Great location, across from beach. Walking distance to restaurants. Breakfast has good variety, and beautiful view of beach with outside balcony. Rooms are basic, but very clean. AC works well. You can hear noise from street."
"Really great location to the beach, the clubs & the cocktail strip. It was extremely loud until 4AM since that was the time the club closed at, other then that it was pretty decent. "
"Good thing they have a garage. In the rooms they need to upgrade and fix a lot of things: shower door missing, towel holders ,dry racks, clothes furniture for longer stay, etc."
