Review summary

Powered by OpenAI

A convenient hotel near shopping strip and pier with positive reviews from visitors. The staff is praised for creating a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Guests appreciate the variety of nearby amenities.

Although guests appreciate the hotel's location, some have reported that it is noisy due to the single-lane windows surrounded by cars and motorcycles. Additionally, a few reviewers mentioned the lack of valet parking, and costly self-parking. The hotel has also been described as dated and in need of updating.

    “GREAT LOCATION!”

    We only stayed (1) night, but it was a great location and we were able to walk everywhere. Bed was very comfy and view from our room was gorgeous! Will definitely stay again!

    “Good choice”

    Great location next to the pier. Provided many amenities for the beach or entertainment if you like. Had a gym and pool although a little small but good enough. Room was spacious and clean. Happy with the stay. For those driving, park opposite the hotel to save on valet parking

    “Howard’s review”

    Everything was great except the bed was too firm for me so I slept on to of the pillows. I recommend pillow-top mattress covers. And the toilet in 218 kept getting stuck open not filling the tank!!!
