For those of you who might consider using the ATM machine located in the hotel lobby to withdraw cash, be forewarned that any attempts at withdrawing cash will be registered as successful even if the machine is empty and gives you no cash.

One night I tried to withdraw some money, and after the second attempt, I was told by the receptionist that the machine was empty. When I checked my bank account later, I found that both attempts were shown as successful transactions and that the money was deducted from my account.

I have since filed a claim with my bank here in Boston.

Otherwise the hotel was clean, the staff was for the most part helpful and friendly (except for the fake blond waitress at breakfast who would only attend to Europeans). One thing I didn't like though was that there were security cameras on every floor - a little too Orwellian for me! Also, there are many other similarly priced hotels within walking distance that offer the same amenities but also offer beach views. (This hotel is one block away from the beach but has no view of it.)
