Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel is well located but its very noisy, to dificult to rest as the sound outside is very loud and you can hear anything outside and onthe hotel inside your room. The staff is friendly, but the breakfast included is laughable, would be better to not include the breafast on the price, and charge it apart and offer something better and bigger portions, even the milk was not included and charged appart.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
. The Pros- spitting distance from the ocean, restaurants, 5th avenue, and a very decent soaking pool on the roof. The cons- The bed was hard, and i mean really hard. If you are an early to bed person, remember that this little gem is right in the middle of party central. So it is going to be loud later at night. Overall, for under $50 USD a night it was worth it to us.
