Pros +

  • We’re staying at the East Wing in a nice spacious room and balcony (E-304) located at the beginning of State street. Walking distance to many bars and restaurants. The pool area was nice and was overlooking the beach.
  • Location, clean, large room, easy to find, near restaurants.
  • The hotel is located on the beach and within walking distance of various restaurants.

Cons -

  • Old property
  • There is no onsite restaurant and no room service. No water bottles were provided in the room. We paid almost $1,000 for two nights, and there was not even a complimentary bottle of water, which was not very welcoming we thought. Water, soda, and snacks are available for purchase from vending machines near the pool. There is also a small gift shop selling beer and cut water drinks, but no food. No access to microwave to guests. Parking is not included and costs an additional $30 per night.
