This property is going to be AMAZING when they are done with the renovations; however, right now, it isn't worth the money. The location, ocean-view balconies, and access to the promenade (shops, dining, attractions, and the ocean) almost make up for the stale (limon) cleaner scent that permeates the halls, the old dingy carpet, and the constant (it started at 7:30 am) banging as they have the roof (fifth-floor wood-work) replaced. It's fantastic to have the pool, though it's relatively small, open again (it had been closed for years). However, it's so heavily chlorinated that I didn't want to get my hair in it...fine for kids (until 10pm - open 24/7 for adults). Everything at this hotel is still old, but they make great efforts to keep things clean. The owners are making improvements that will transform it into a premier hotel, making it eventually worth the rates they are currently charging. We'll be back! P.S. The young lady at the front desk, with wavy, long hair, did a fantastic job checking in the whole lobby of guests all by herself on a Sunday afternoon!
