The property very obviously still had hints of its age as you walked the hallways. The smell of mildew was in the carpet. The second floor had a staff meeting space that smelled like food, and the talking was very loud at different times of the day.

The property location itself is stunning. The ocean views are beautiful. The actual condition on the property is just average. You can tell it’s time to upgrade the property. The rooms are very nice but there are little details that need attention. I would stay here again but just know that for $500 a night you’re not going to get perfection.

Not Worth the money

Breaking my commentary into 2 buckets: decor & infrastructure and location.  Decor and infrastructure.  They have obviously resurfaced the hotel.  The lobby has been nicely updated.  Rooms have been partially updated.  We had a one bedroom suite.  It was "eh". Two pieces of "art" adorned one wall,  others were bare save a mirror over the kitchenette. The kitchenette had no dishes, glasses, utensils, or lighting and a cheap formica countertop.  Additionally there was a space for a college fridge but they had placed one in the intended location that was half the size it was supposed to be and it just looked bad.  Minimal color, nearly no " style". And inadequate lighting.  Stucco walls throughout that just made everything look old. And the balcony had views of the water but also had a lot of noise from the road.   They have a property that is obviously aging and are trying to revive it.  The pool is a nice space, as is the patio and bar. They were done well. Hvac is old and we had some challenges with the ac running far longer than when the room reached the desired temp.  (could see both temps in the display) Location. The other challenge with this hotel is it's location.  There is a sliver of a beach which ends at a retaining wall with a 4 for drop to the water.  There are steps into a marked swimming area but they are slippery and is not friendly for the old or young.   I would not stay here again nor recommend the property. At nearly 700 dollars a night I expected more.
