We had to get a new card every day to unlock our door, sometimes twice a day. There’s a towel shortage. Front Desk was excellent even after I was upset about door. I was very irritated to keep going downstairs for a key. Also the ice machine was broke. I was the go to for my group and they all complained about the key card and they didn’t get there room cleaned even when requested

I loved the fun location. Staff was the best. Super nice and helpful. Rooms were ok but I was not in room that much. Perfect area to be in the mix of all the fun. A little loud at night on the weekends, if you think you want to go to sleep early. Overall I had a great time and felt safe as a solo traveler.

Not horrible

We stayed in the building behind the location. The room was nice, you could hear the bar across the street but it wasn’t too loud and we were able to sleep through it. The key cards are extremely sensitive to deactivation. I had to go to the front lest multiple times to have them reactivated. I had to walk through an ice cream shop, 2 bars and a restaurant to do this because of the location of our room. The front desk staff were super friendly and didn’t seem to mind me having to do this daily. It’s a very good location to be close to action, restaurants etc. We had to ask for towels and trash pickup in the room but they were very nice and did assist. I didn enjoy the large bathroom and shower. A microwave would have been nice to have in the larger room.

I was upgraded to a beautiful corner full view room. I also had seen a few negative reviews but after my great experience, I’m not sure if those were real guests at this property. I travel more than half the year and I would definitely highly recommend this property plus it’s great location and helpful staff.

If you want to get some rest or sleep this isn't the place! They were rockin until 4am. I enjoyed the night life at this hotel. You can't go wrong with the location, the bed was comfortable & the shower was nice & big. ON THE DOWN SIDE (not all of these things bothered me), but they tried to charge me a hotel fee of $39, which was already included when reserved from Expedia, then they tried to charge me a $200. Deposit, when it's only $100. I called them out on both of these issues and they eventually agreed. I think most ppl won't speak up and they get away with this. They tried to give me a room on the 1st floor that had such a bad mildew stench that as soon as I walked in I was like no way! So then I had to go through the courtyard/restaurant where all the music/band/nightlife was going on, to the other building and through an ice cream shop, Lol, to the elevator to get to my room on the 3rd floor- anything was better than the 1st room he showed me, and much quieter (although the stage with the Band & DJ was right outside of my window), the TV didn't work (No Signal), No garbage can at all in the room, no coffee for the coffee maker & the pool (not what I was there for) was not in service. Over all my stay was good, mainly bc of the location, oh and I parked at the ZOCEAN hotel (5 blocks away) through SpotHero for $40. Parking at this hotel was $53. per night. The valet let me park in front to check-in with my bags for about 20 mins. until I came out to move the car.
