Given the price, this is clearly a budget hotel, and it's a great value for the price. The basics. We had a nice sized room. The bed was good, though not great (an old style - but not old - spring type). The shower was very good. The towels were fine but not lush. Free parking, free wifi. Good heating/AC. Largish but not huge TV. Decor was minimal, probably to keep down costs. But we don't rent a hotel for the ¹pictures. Location was good, walking distance to many shops and restaurants. It does not have an ocean view (if it had it would have cost more). The desk is not attended after 7, so if you needed something from management late at night you were out of luck. Boxed breakast available - we didn't get one. Lunch and dinner available, we did not try it. Laundry off the lobby, but annoyingly, it was open only during the business day..
Upgraded to a King room. Which sounds good, but wasn't. Rooms was very old and in need of update. Cupboards, wardrobes and drawers extremely dirty and I wasn't putting my clothes in them. Only a tv in the lounge and none in bedroom. Shower hot water had to be on for at least 2 mins before it got hot. All power points on the bottom of the walls next to floor, making it impossible to use power bricks for recharging. Some staff cannot understand simple instructions. I was doing the right thing and pained them to let them know that I had excess milk, so didn't need any more in the morning for breakfast Apparently this meant I wanted to cancel my breakfast. Went to reception a week before and explained my new checkout day would be moved from a Tuesday to a Friday. Girl wrote it down on a post it note and I assumed it would be fine. Received a phonecall on Wednesday that I haven't checked out and I have to vacate as fully booked. I have travelled for work for over 15 years now and this is the worst incompetence I have ever come across. Food, while nice, is grossly over priced for what you get. The $45 dry aged steak was OK. But $25 ok .. Would I stay here again..NO. Would i recommend this place...NO.
Located right on the beach, family oriented, and ran by a friendly staff. Adjacent restaurant has an excellent menu, great service, and is reasonably priced. Rooms are clean and well appointed not new any more. Provides easy access to fitness facility right across the street, the beach rightacross the street, and close to the Pinguin Center.
