Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had clean, fresh rooms but check-in was delayed until late evening. The service was friendly and professional. The location was pleasant, close to grocery stores, restaurants, and just across the street from the beach. Dining options were limited, and the facilities were well-kept.
Although the hotel had some cleanliness issues with a throwback feel from the 60s and rusted areas, it was exceptionally clean overall. The service was a mixed bag with some staff being the highlight while others were rude and inattentive. The location was generally great, near attractions and with a view, though lacking in friendliness from some staff members. Dining had limited choices but fresh and tasty options.
The hotel has a convenient location, perfect for walks to the beach and dining options. The rooms had a not-so-pleasant smell and were not up to Hilton standards, but the swim-up bar and hot tub were enjoyable. Service was a mix of rudeness and efficiency. The location was great but faced risks of flooding. Dining was bland and overpriced. Value for money was questionable.
I absolutely loved the stunning view from the room, but it could use a little refresh. The temperature regulation was a bit off due to the concrete walls. After booking the room, the experience was overall good.
