Hotel is right next to a busy street and the beach. I’ve heard cars screeching, motorcycles revving, sirens day in and day out. Doors are so thin, you can hear people laughing, talking really loud at 1am. Pools/amemeties were always packed. Other than that, staff were extremely friendly with great customer service and were prompt to answer your wants and needs.

The elevators at the property take about ten minutes to pick you up. There is no ice machine on each floor so just imagine how frustrating it is to try and get some ice. Also the hotel needs a lot of updates.
