The staff was really nice and the restaurant food was food. Size of the room and location are excellent. The carpet in the room was filthy and made my feet black. The bathroom was nice but had poor lighting- and the floor in there became dirty because the carpet was so dirty and that bothered me. They were very accommodating for my late check out and the staff seems very nice. As many details as I liked about the hotel, the dirty carpet still gives me the chills.

My only complaint was that I left an item behind and had msgd to ask about it as I was going to return and get it. An employee responded saying that they would check and get back to me however no one ever got back to me. So I wasn’t given an opportunity to get my property back.

This property needs a major makeover. Everything looks pretty old. I’d say it’s no more than a 2.5-3 star at best. The room I stayed in had constant huge noise from their garage door opening and closing, starts at 7am and through out the day. No way to sleep in. The front desk girl was very friendly and kind, she did her best to try to switch, and not much option was there. The only thing I liked was its distance to the beach.

Don't get me wrong, it is a good property. It is just that their desire to be lean has created some cracks in their service. On the last night of our stay, their elevator stopped working (as was the case a day before), and then elevator had some electric issues so it cause fire alarm to go out every 20 minutes post 10-11 PM (for three times). Although the alarm was a false alarm, there was no senior person on the hotel to take care of guests. 911 had to come and when even then as nothing came out of it, we tried calling and found out that all senior folks had already left for the night. Complete mess for 1-2 hours.
