Bad service and unprofessional hotel restaurant
The location is perfect and our room was nice. However we found sand in the pull couch bed when trying to put my kids to sleep. It was late and they were tired so we had to wait to get clean sheets and bedding. Also the restaurant is in a nice spot. But the waiter was terrible, very rude, and didn’t come back to check on us often. We always have bad service this restaurant. There was also no food left over. I mean how can a restaurant run out of chicken nuggets for kids. It was a terrible Saturday night after driving so far and to not enjoy a nice dinner. Make sure to pick nice waiters who want to be there because we spent $200 on drinks and will tip very generously if deserved.

Historically interesting architecture and general plan of the buildings. However, the lack of modern technologies in the rooms as well as in the public areas makes staying at the hotel a disappointment (no air conditioning, no sensor dispensers or hand dryers in restrooms, or sensor opening doors) The lack of complimentary services such as coffee/ water with lemon/ or seasonal fruits available 24h in the lobby creates a very cheap feeling of the hotel.

Not so good!
First impression was horrible. The lobby area and furniture are old (can I say 80's vibe) and worn. The people at the check in were in wrinkled and tattered clothing and not friendly at all. Our room was not ready by check in time so had to wait. The valet was very nice and helpful. Our room was fine with a great view of the ocean but we paid for it. It was clean but definitely could use some paint. The pool area and grounds need refurbishing. We did not eat at the hotel so cannot comment on the food. A lot of money for the lack of luxury.

Property is in a good beachfront location across from the road. However it an old property that needs updating. Rooms are big but outdated, hallway smelly, carpet worn out. Definitely would not recommend if you are expecting a plush high end stay

The rooms were very much like a motel and the shower didn't work, water leaked from all the faucets, everything felt like a motel 6 definitely not like a Hilton. Moreover the check-in took 30 minutes and the rooms were very far from the main lobby. They charge for basic amenities like internet. It was just very much like a one star hotel
