Our recently renovated room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The no-added-cost parking was great. We stayed 4 nights. The breakfast was disappointing with very little variety. The hotel itself is pretty quiet but it is on a busy, loud street. The pool is extremely small and dirty. For the price, it met our needs since we spent most of our time at the beaches.

The room was nice & clean and comfy, however we were disappointed that there wasn't a working ice machine on our floor. We were on the 3rd floor so that was a big inconvenience. Another issue we seemed was a bit of a safety hazard was the showers. They were very Slippery & I Slipped. It was a very scary situation.

The positive was that the parking was fine, restaurants in the area were good, the check in was easy. Breakfast was good during the week, but only ok on Sunday. The room was a bit dated but was perfectly acceptable and it was clean. It is also pretty close to some parks in the bay. The price was also good in what can be an expensive city. We seemed to have bad luck on our stay there. The power went out one night at about 9PM (not much to do at that time other than sit around a dark hotel room until bed time) and then came back on at about 3AM (we should have turned the lights and stuff off since they woke us up when they came back on. We had a fire alarm go off one morning about 7am. We had a couple phone calls to our room when we answered, no one spoke. The elevator didn't work for up one night after we had just gotten back from shopping so that was unfortunate. We also found that the breakfast on Sunday was not as good as the breakfasts during the week. Sunday was disappointing by comparison. There was also a bit of a staff discussion that seemed like a disagreement while we waited for the elevator one day. Overall it was ok, but some of the issues that had happened did make the stay a little less than great.

Gross. Hotel has definitely photo shopped the pictures. Hotel carpet throughout is stained and falling apart. Furniture is damaged. Our AC unit front cover kept falling off even after the staff member literally kicked it to snap on. Breakfast was a temu version of holiday inn. You’re better off just going to jack in the box or McDonalds. Checked the bed for bedbugs. Luckily our room didn’t have any. Went to take a shower and black stuff came out of the tube faucet which is most likely mildew. Complained to the staff but due to occupancy was just told sorry. No accommodation or some discount. This hotel is a solid (1). For being so close to SeaWorld and the beach you would think the owners would keep up with the maintenance. Huge safety concern when the elevator permit is expired and has a 6 month old temporary permit. Damn thing sounded like the cable was going to snap when you get to the third floor. Avoid this hotel. Spend a little more money on somewhere else
