This property does not have anyone on site after 9 PM. Unfortunately, for us on the second night of our stay our air-conditioning started making a noise that was so loud we could no longer stay in the room. It was around 9:30 at night when it started and we waited until around 11 hoping that the noise would resolve. At that point, I called the hotel and just received an answering machine. We had to leave to find someplace else to sleep. When I contacted the hotel the next day, they basically said that we should have called the number that is posted in their office which is closed. That phone number is not listed when you call the hotel phone number nor were we aware that it was posted in the lobby which I knew was closed. We requested a refund for the second night and the front desk attendant agreed that the noise was still occurring and was not reasonable. After phone calls for about a week and a half the best they could offer was pay for one night and the second night free the next time. Since the room was uninhabitable for sleep, and the phone number for the hotel did not redirect to an emergency line. I believe we should have been reimbursed for the second night. I would recommend staying in a hotel that has staff overnight in case you have any issues. The types of air-conditioning these rooms have are the kind that are retrofitted and I guess they probably have issues quite a bit. The noise was so loud you could hear it outside the room three doors down.

Nice hotel with walkable distance to dining options. The price for the hotel is higher than what we expected. We came in and slept 2 nights and it cost us $700. Yes its close yo the water but very costly.

absolutely terrible stay from beginning. the bed broke 5 minutes after getting in the room and instead of switching my room, they took the mattress, put it on the floor with the sheet and flipped the bed base and put the mattress with the same sheets that were just on the floor back on the bed. so many things went wrong and on top of that i had to text the manager back and forth for all these issues instead of enjoying my trip. dirty sheets broken things just awful.

Staff were super friendly and accommodating of any requests. The cleanliness was above standards and they service the room everyday if you choose. Great pool area and a block from the beach and a nice restaurant. I would have loved having a comfy chair in the room. They are planning on a breakfast room which will be great and providing a bike would be lovely for those of us who take the train. I’ll be back

Needed to wear shoes in the room as the floor was dirty. No pool as it was being renovated but we were not told this at any point. Workman still using power tools until almost 2am with the radio playing right outside our room. No fridge, no safe. We paid £240 just for one night. It was a complete rip off.

I feel deceived by the “wonderful” status. The room next to me had its door open so I could see the hotel was working construction on it. Walls PAPER thin. I was beside myself that continuing until AFTER MIDNIGHT they were drilling and hammering away! When I pulled the bedding down there were a couple hairs in the bed. Also- wifi reset every 30 seconds. Terrible

We came while there was construction in the room next door. I should have said something earlier but assumed the management would know construction, that we were not informed if ahead of time, would be taking place and let us know. At 9 I said something. Then 10 minutes later, the air conditioner started leaking water. Could be a coincidence but it put a damper on our evening. I was pleased that the ladies at the front desk came to ask the construction to stop and offered a towel for the floor. It is a nice location, but not sure I’d stay again next year.

FALSE ADVERTISING
They advertise a full size bed as a queen. MGR non responsive, refuses to give corp. PH number, claims not to know the size difference between full and queen size beds(even as I am showing the Sit-n-Sleep size chart). Found corp number(online) and none of their numbers allow for VM.
