Third party reservation is not their problem

Hotels.com suggested this hotel as a search result for all the ideas mentioned above, what I was given was strong moldy odor with a view to a wall of an abandoned property in the bedrooms and the hotel pool directly in front of the door of our Pool House Suite. the front desk personnel kept arrogantly insist the two king size beds were an upgrade and we were free to leave if we didn’t like it. So no. Not a great experience.

We loved our stay , everything was great, the only complaint is the WiFi connection, but no big deal, we were here to relax. Enjoyed their pool and hot tub, free breakfast, free tea time cheese and wine. Convenience location, one block to the ocean. Will stay again.

This property is older and on the small side, but a charming Mediterranean gem. It’s more of a “motel” style property with exterior doors and concrete steps to the second floor, which I am not really used to but it grew on me right away as it seemed nostalgic. For its age, it is well cared for with a cozy courtyard and pool. It offers a wine reception daily and free continental breakfast. The staff was very friendly. The room that we had was dated in regards to the furniture but it was clean with a comfortable bed. It was an easy 15 minute walk to the wharf and beach, and a 20 min walk to State Street/Funk Zone. I probably wouldn’t walk at night but it felt safe during the day. Overall a great place for the value.
