My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing overall. While the location was excellent, right by the ocean and close to downtown, the room itself was a letdown – it overlooked a rundown park and a car park. Service was a mixed bag; some staff were friendly, but I felt pressured for tips at times. Dining was also frustrating with undercooked food and dated decor. I hoped for a better experience given the price I paid.
