Think Madmen flop house, extremely overpriced, front desk staff are tired and unhelpful, fill in your own forms and don't ask any questions, lots of tour buses coming through and they nickel and dime you to death, parking, Internet, tips, etc all added on quietly Positive side: good breakfast and excellent shower Avoid unless, extremely desperate...

While I agree with other reviewers that this hotel is close to the beach (2 blocks away), it really needs to be updated. The room felt like I was in the 1980's and was dark. There is no additional lock on the inside of the door to secure it which didn't make me feel very safe. My room had two... More

Staff in the bar had very little English and only for the help of a local we would not of been able to order. Breakfast was good with a wide selection. Location on one end of... More
