Steven, Jan 2024

For $200+ I would at least expect at least toothbrushes and toothpaste. No kitchenette. It appeared like they want us to only eat in there restaurants. In the cost they add a 25% tip. It was comfortable enough but it was a very basic room. Would I recommend this to a friend? Sorry, I would have to no.

8Very good
Gail, Nov 2021

The location is excellent and the staff is friendly and helpful. The standard rooms are small - I recommend the kitchenette. Parking can be dicey, though free valet helps.

Cons. There was some noise above us. They used COVID as an excuse to not clean the rooms or empty the tiny trash can, despite all guests testing negative.

Pros. The restaurant is really good, it's close to many locations, beach is walking distance, wristband electronic roomkey, check out is later than most hotels,

Cons. Rooms need major remodel (very outdated), Parking lot is a terrible one-way to the main lobby, beach towels at front lobby only not in the rooms, they charge $15 a day for cleaning fees, our room had many small ants, trying to get back on the main highway can be irritating due to the construction near the hotel,

Pros. Even with the renovations the hotel still held on to it's old time charm. The staff were accommodating, the bed was very comfortable and the handicapped bathroom was a super plus. Mahalo

Cons. Breakfast was overpriced. Papaya wasn't ripe. Not enough butter and syrup to cover the very large pancakes, but the people working there were very helpful.
