The room was clean and we had a good view of the ocean from the patio. There were plenty of places within walking distance to eat and shop. I know others said parking was limited but we did not have a problem finding a spot and we did leave and come back a good bit. I would stay here again, it was nice.

The location of the hotel was ideal: very close to the ocean, shopping and food. The rooms were nice, but there were problems…the AC didn’t blow cold air and it was SO LOUD! The toilet ran the whole time we were there. Parking was definitely an issue, as in we almost could never park on site. When you first check in you initial all these different fines they might charge you for, some things that makes sense, but other things that were weird and random. Also on the door to your room is a sign to take out your own garbage, and clean your dishes or you’ll be fined. It didn’t make for a very welcoming feeling to think they were hoping to catch you doing something that would make you have to pay additional fees.

Echoing most of the reviews for this property. The condo was small, but fit our needs (2 guests). Check in was fine, and I was aware that the condos are owned privately and didn't have in-house guest services. It is a good location due to its vicinity to restaurants and shops. I had a view of the beach, but at times it did get noisy because of cars passing by blasting their music. The negatives I had was that the AC was too loud and agitated my allergies. Parking was also an issue. If you get in late, you'll need to find street parking.
