Newer clean modern hotel about one block back from the ocean with views from the rooms. Lobby and bar area are great. Fitness room is well maintained. Pool area small but fine with outdoor bar. No hot tub. Only downside to this place right now is the well-documented construction going on right next door. It's loud and it is what it is for now. But it's a great location and hotel if you are willing to deal with the construction stuff.

I would not recommend this hotel at all. Firstly, they are putting up another building right next door, so that’s all you’ll hear. In addition if you’re oceanfront and on a low floor, you’ll get the pleasure of listening to the giant fan from Cafe Casablanca and the smell of fried food till probably after midnight. The breakfast is terrible, no variety and not worth the money, elevators are so slow and more than likely you’ll have to wait at least one other trip. Forget going to the pool, you’re literally looking at a building being built. It’s awful. Also small and often packed. Not reflective of the prices they’re currently charging. I also agree with another guest, the staff is not friendly or helpful and no one speaks English in housekeeping. They completely skipped our room one day, and they only changed our sheets after 5 days. Towels, were always short and on some days didn’t even take out the garbage. If you’re just looking for a place to crash perhaps this could be the spot, but not at those prices. When we reported our disappointment their suggestion was to come by the front desk to speak with management. The only thing that was good about this place was the location. Other than that not much else to it.
