We found the hotel to be clean and our room to be comfortable. We were given a top-floor unit, which meant we could open the windows, enjoy the breeze, and look out over the water.

The ups would be the location and the fact that they allowed us to...
Read moreWorst hotel ever! Please do not go here! Rooms are very dirty,they smell really bad,air condition is not working. Bathroom is terrible , very very dirty. Maids come every day to fold DIRTY towels that are USED , and that is it! No dusting , no cleaning .
