Mixed results - some good, some bad
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/2/08
I was originally going to pan this hotel, but they moved me and it made a big difference. The first room was a 'standard' room and was dark, truly dank, smelled of cigarettes, and just felt 3rd rate. It also did not have a fridge I needed.
After 3 hrs of trying to accept it, I eventually had to go ask for another room. They obliged and got me into an 'efficiency' room, which had no smell, looked renovated, and had a fridge, microwave, stovetop, and sink as well as tile instead of carpet near this kitchenette area (which really makes sense with all the possible stinkable spillables: milk, etc.). These in combination made it satisfactory for a 5 night stay, though other weaknesses included a noisy A/C unit, low-flow in the bathroom faucet (shower was fine), a broken room safe, significant neighbor noise via the adjacent-room door, and a joke of a complimentary breakfast area (when offered). Still, staff was nice and helpful, and location is 200 yrds from sand and ocean, but borderline even for my tolerant standards.
P.S: I never have written these hotel reviews, but have appreciated the many provided and now returning the favor.
