The king bed and the location are very nice! And the front desk lady was very nice.
Literally on the water front and the beach is very peaceful…
The not so nice… the room was dated… very dated, we suspected some kind mold in the bathroom and woke up to silver fish bugs in the the tub… didn’t really want to use the coffee machine as it didn’t look the cleanest so didn’t want to risk it
It was a one night stay so it was fine… not sure if I would stay long than that

Good location. The bed was quite comfy and the room was clean. Soundproofing is not ideal (for the lack of better words). If you're not an extreme early bird, you will definitely hear more than you'd like.

Not suitable for a family
There was a group of people in the residence who were smoking, drinking and laughing very loudly until 4AM right behind the door of our room. We asked them few times to move to the other side they went and came back again which was not unexpected as they were so drunk. But the next day we told to the hotel staff and asked for a solution or change of our room and they said that cannot do it and if that happens again we should call the police.

The property was under construction, which I wasn't made aware of when I booked. I wasn't offered any discount due to the construction & noise.
Other than that, everyone was really nice and I had a good time.

Smokey room
Room smelled horribly of cigarette smoke as soon as I walked in. I went and asked for a different room but they were fully booked. They offered a slight discount, but my room was prepaid so that didn't help. She suggested I air it out. I checked out the next morning and found a different hotel. My clothes smelled even.
