The rooftop pool was a refreshing escape after long days. Unfortunately, the room's noise from the street disturbed our sleep.

5/10
Perfect spot, real close to Walmart and the bus station. The room was clean with decent amenities, and the rooftop pool was dope for winding down. But man, that street noise was a killer, tough to get good sleep. And the breakfast kinda missed the mark.

You absolutely must try the Neapolitan pizza at La Famiglia, it's a slice of heaven right around the corner! The staff were super helpful, and the rooftop pool was a hidden gem to chill after an epic day of culinary adventures.
I wasn't too thrilled when the housekeeper folded the dirty towels and stuffed them back on the shelf.

Close to everything, yet cozy
The location couldn't be better, just a short walk from the beach, 5th Avenue, and local shops. The rooftop pool was a delightful surprise for unwinding after a day of exploring.
However, my room struggled with street noise, making restful sleep a challenge. Additionally, the front desk staff seemed a bit overwhelmed and weren't very responsive when I needed help.

The outdoor pool was perfect for our family! Plus, the rooftop terrace gave us a great spot to unwind after our adventures. The location was super handy, just a walk away from the beach and shops. We felt very comfortable with our babies in tow.
For dads, it would be great if the hotel offered more amenities for families.

The room was spacious and functional, with amenities like a fridge and a good bathroom setup. The rooftop pool became a favorite spot to relax after exploring the area, and the location was central, just a quick walk from beach and dining options. However, the noise level from the street was distracting, especially at night, and the bed felt excessively firm, impacting sleep quality. Front desk assistance was lacking, as they were not responsive to our needs when we faced issues like the airport transfer not arriving.

Good place with its rooftop pool, 24-hour reception, and free Wi-Fi. I recall my first stay when the staff brought me a cold drink to beat the heat. I highly recommend it for a relaxing city break.
