Anonymous, Oct 2015
Pros (+) Location was great, right across from the Gulf, balcony with a water view in every room. Attached to a mediocre breakfast spot that does room service on request. Pool area facing Gulf / Seawall Blvd with a delightfully tacky tile fountain pouring into the heavily chlorinated pool. Cute in the way that old 60's and 70's motor hotels can be provided you don't expect the Four Seasons for your $80/nig...
Cons (-) Staff was not especially polite or accommodating. Room A/C was set to arctic upon arrival. Cleaning staff had my dates incorrect and woke me up as if I was being raided by the police, then acted as if I were the one that had made a mistake. Entire operation a bit dilapidated. Basic customer service absent, but I arrived late - perhaps the day shift is more personable.
