We had an ocean view room (we were two blocks from the beach, and the view was between buildings!), but we were very happy with its central location. In-room coffee was excellent, which is a surprise because most of the time those little 4-cup coffee machines with their associated "coffee dustings in a filter" make really lousy coffee!.

This hotel was exactly what we expected and we were quite happy.

Pool and whirlpool are outside and were closed in february. No amenities except in room coffee. No oven. Kitchen pipes leaked and flooded floor. No breakfast. Only basic cable, no premium or dvd player. Maid did not vacuum or replace trash can liners, kitchen towels, or dishcloths. Electricity kept going out. Only one outlet in bedroom area. Did have ocean view from across the street, but moved to an oceanfront hotel with indoor heated pool and whirlpools for only $15 more a night. No fitness center or restaurant

Me and the fiance stayed the weekend of january 12th 2013. Its the second time we have stayed at aqua beach and once again, were very pleased!! Its january (not very busy) so it was great to get a parking place beside the hotel. There is only one elevator, but again we were aware of that before we booked, not a big deal even if it had been busy. We got a great room with a great view of the ocean. The room was clean. The only thing is it would be nice to have the people who clean the rooms make sure they clean up everything even if it may not be a big deal to them (toothpaste on bottom part of the sink in the bathroom). But it was not a big deal! The coffee pot does need to be replaced be the handle kept coming off. The staff were Very helpful and pleasant. And the beds are amazinggggg!!! Its great location even if it is not right on the beach, you just take a minute to walk across the street and there are a couple restaurant/bar super close (one right in front of the hotel and not to far down the street). We Love staying here and will continue coming back!!!!

Sometimes when you think something is too good to be true you should listen to yourself! I bought a coupon to stay in this hotel over the 2012 holidays. I'm an avid review reader and on another site it had decent reviews. Imagine my dismay when we arrive and the elevator is broken (with an alarm that was quite loud) and our room is on the 10th floor! Luckily, we had other places to go so didn't schlep our stuff up 10 flights, but the front desk person didn't seem agreeable when I asked if we could have a lower room if it was still broken later. Needless to say, the elevator broke again the following day and my entire family got a good workout.
The room itself was average, but clean. The A/C-Heater wasn't working when we came in, after diagnosing, it was because they had wrapped the cord up into the actual unit. Once we found the cord, plugged it in, it worked fine. The coffee maker did not work in my room, or my brother's room next door; exploded hot water over the counter. The towels were AWFUL. There was some awful hum that would go on for about 30 seconds every few minutes. I had thought at first it was the elevator, but once that broke it continued. Still not sure what it was but it was loud enough for me to notice all night long.
The view was good since we were on 10th floor, lower units would not have been as lucky.
Front desk staff seemed put out when asked for more towels, and ignored my children when they went down to ask the first time for more towels. The room wasn't cleaned at all, I guess because the elevator was broken. But it would've been nice to at least make up the room and bring towels even if you couldn't vacuum, etc.
I wouldn't stay here again even with a coupon.
