Let's start with the two good things of this hotel:
1. location right on the beach (all rooms have sea view)
2. pool, hot tub and free internet
The rest of this place has some problems:
Rooms:
I asked for "new" room upon check-in and was told that all rooms have same decor. However we got one of the remaining (?) "not fully remodeled" rooms:
- the leather chair was totally worn and the furniture partly broken.
- However bathroom and windows looked like having been replaced 2 years ago (as she told us).
- on the wall was a remote control to set temperature but when I set is to 65 F the room was heated after we returned? NO AC!
- shower makes hell of noise (old pipes), also you can hear similar from your neighbours
- room doors from the 70ies (not noise proof enough and old lockings)
Hotel faciliites:
- open parking garage on 2 levels was very dirty (nobody takes care on cleaning this area)
- the aisles in section "C" (where our room was) looked like from the 70ies and never replaced (old rotten carpet, wallpaper loose)
- in the staiways it stinks urine and garbage is everywhere (nobody took care for 2 nights we stayed there)
- the pipes on garage ceiling and stairways are not protected against the salty water which is in the air here: loss of rust and oxidation!
- screws at the building start to corrode (visual defect)
- towels at pool were missing
- Bathrobes as advertised were missing in room (on request only)
- offered fruits at reception were expired (rotten orange)
- no guest laundry
All in all I'd say this hotel "lives" from its location on the beach:
The owners don't seem to be interested in keeping the hotel in good shape.I feel the official rates of $189 up (weekends much higher) is a very bad value refering to our overall hotel experience.
We got a nightly prepaid $95 rate (incl. taxes) at alpharooms.com (TUI Travel UK via local agent hotel-beds USA), however this deal seems to be discontinued!!!
in a nutshell: NOT recommended because of poor value (with official rates and general hotel premises in such a bad shape)
Check the Holiday Inn Express next door, similar rates but seems to be the nicer and better deal (+BF&Laundry included)
