It was a great stay on budget. Right beside the clubs, restaurants, and market. 3 mins walking distnace to the beach. The front desk staff were super nice. The check in was very quick and so was the check out. Also, the housekeeping found our beach clothes in the bathroom and handed over wihin 2 mins while we were checking out. I'd love to stay again next time.

The staff at the front desk was very accommodating very nice. Change the beds daily. The staff very accommodating to your needs. This is a hotel for couples only who love night life not for family with children music at a near bar lounge is blasting too loud not able to get a good night sleep. The beach is about two or three blocks for the hotel. A Great place to have breakfast n great sandwiches is at Les Amis inexpensive go see Tony the owner. I did enjoy my stay n staff very helpful to accommodate me for another 2 days. Best wishes Vida

One night stay

I only stayed for 1 one night even though I booked for a whole weekend, this place was extremely loud all night till 2am. The tv sucked, i found a cockroach in the bathroom & there’s absolutely no smoking allowed. Staff was great tho!!!! I really enjoyed talking with the front desk girl in the morning shift

Don’t go there if you want to rest and sleep . The nightclubs are behind the rooms . It doesn’t stop u til 2 am . The pool was suppose to be able to swim in . When we got there they decided to empty it and do maintenance on it . So we were unable to use it the time we stayed . The location was good near the 5 th Avenue . Staff were lovely .

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property did not quite meet the expectations for the price we paid. I must mention the property is behind 3 major nightclubs that blast super loud music until 3am; however, that is not within the control of the hotel, and they provide you with complimentary earplugs. The location was really nice (outside the loud music). Items within the control of management include providing you with better quality beds and pillows. The pillow was super hard, I didn't know such pillows even existed. We were 3 people, and they provided us with 1 small shampoo bottle 1 soap bar, and 2 towels; we had to ask for additional items. No conditioner or lotion was available. The second day after cleaning our room, there was no soap left for us at all and no toilet paper. After we asked for it, the person at reception was a bit rude like it's our fault the cleaners didn't leave toilet paper! You must know there rooms are small and dated, and the pool doesn't look like it's swimmable, kind of murky. The air conditioning worked well. Overall, I would not stay here again. Pretty disappointed :(

Great staff, hard to sleep due to loud nearby club

The staff and the property is great. The hotel is also located near everything. The only issue is the loudness of the nearby club. It’s hard to sleep until the music stops at 3am.
