Good stay, old rooms, NOISY AC

The staff was always pretty attentive and helpful, a 10 for them. The room is old and small. But, the worst is a really really really noisy AC that it is waking up all of us during the whole night stopping and starting all the time.

Nice boutique hotel but everything is centred around its sister hotel - The President. Parking, drinks, breakfast and pool are all at The President so that would probably be a beater option of the two. Overall still a nice hotel with a nice view of the ocean and beach from our room.

Property is at nice location with 1 min walk to beach but when I went to do check in no one was present at the desk for 5 mins. Then u was asked to give 38 dollar resort fee and there was no resort. There was an another hotel called the president at which we need to go for our drinks, pool etc. they don’t have their own parking and I paid extra 45 dollars to have vallet parking. The biggest thing was expect giving two small water bottles they don’t have water to give. No refill station no water at front desk. The room was too small but the view I got was awesome.
