The hotel has free breakfast and a free cocktail hour daily. The breakfast is alright. They had pancakes, yogurt, fruit, had boiled eggs, and cereal. The coffee was surprisingly good, and there was also juice and water available. Keep in mind none of these items are available outside of breakfast hours. So if you want milk, for example, grab during breakfast because they literally lock the refrigerator otherwise. The cocktail hour is great. There is beer, wine, and sodas available. You can get as many as you want during the hour.
I thought the room was great. I chose an ocean view room with a mini fridge/microwave. I chose this room as I wanted more of an ocean view. It was the same price as a partial ocean view with a full kitchen, but the view was more important to me. I learned ocean view is not the same as ocean front, so my view wasn’t what I expected, but it was still great. My only two problems were that the pillows were extremely soft, no firmness at all, and there was no tub. Oh, also, the toilet didn’t have a lid. I prefer to close the toilet lid when flushing so this was definitely a negative for me.
Two nights in a row I had an issue with the night shift front desk lady (same woman both nights). The first night I was trying to get a fork so I wanted to see if the breakfast area had something available. She didn’t even get up from her chair which was in the doorway of their back office, not even close to the front desk. She told me she didn’t know if there were any forks and made no other effort to assist me. The next incident was the following night when my kids and I got stuck in the elevator. I asked her if they were going to fix the elevator as there were only two for the whole hotel, and again, didn’t get up from her chair in the doorway and basically told me “they” were doing everything they could.
Back to the elevator situation. We were stuck in the elevator for about 5-7 minutes and when it was opened, the maintenance man immediately started berating us for getting stuck in the elevator. There are signs in the elevator stating not to hold the door open by the door, but only using button inside of the elevator. So he accused us of holding the doors open incorrectly, causing us to get stuck. It left a terrible taste in my mouth and hated being treated that way as a guest.
I would’ve given this hotel 4 stars, but after the treatment from the elevator maintenance man and the night shift front desk woman, this definitely went down to a 3.
Positiv sind: freundliche Mitarbeiter, kostenlose Parkplätze und die Lage! Für uns hat dies nicht ausgereicht um über die Mängel hinweg zu sehen!
-The continental breakfast and the cocktail hour leave a lot to be desired. I ended up just buying a few things from the store to cook breakfast for myself.
-This hotel is dated. If you’re looking for a swanky place with south beach vibes, this is not it. They also attract an older clientele. It’s right on the beach so that’s a plus but it can get noisy since there’s traffic so close.
-There’s a very tiny room they’ve designed for a fitness area/gym. I think it would worth it to expand that. Thankfully no one came in while I was in there. It would literally be uncomfortable with two people it’s that small.
Overall, my stay was fine and all the staff I encountered were polite.
