The people were very friendly and helpful. Faustina was super friendly. She kept the breakfast area very clean. I was able to check in early, which was great because it was so hot and I was tired.

I expected a little more service for my money. The rooms are only made up every three days so you are using the same sheets and towels for 3 days. The staff was hard to locate. The only person who was available usually was the person at the front desk who also handled many other tasks. If you happened to have a room on the top floor at the far end of the hotel it was a long way to go to find out where the ice was!

Great location, close to the beach, with a nice park across the street. The room was clean and comfortable and the complimentary breakfast is a nice touch.
