Thanks for the wonderful stay at your hotel. A special thank you to Laura. I had left my I.D. in the room and Laura tracked me down and sent my I.D. back to me. Thats above and beyond customer service. I look forward to a return visit there.

I should probably be ok at staying at this property if it wasn't for the feeling of have being tricked on getting into their restaurant with some discount tickets given at check-in. The restaurant is a rip-off with over priced drinks and food.

The office to check in to Alamar is not discoverable - and in fact as a different hotel next door. There was no signs mentioning this, so we had to ask the construction crew. Also, the construction crew took up several of the few available parking sopts, and got to work pretty early in the morning. Not a great way to wake up. All in all, this is a lovely place, but unfortunately being there during construction made our experience not stellar. Also, like there was a pirate living somewhere on the property. He spent a good deal of time hollering and smoking weed through an apple which he left for all to use on the terrace. So strange to have such a high potential property and such an ... "interesting" experience.

No front desk no phones in the room 12 o’clock. Neighbors have a party till four in the morning. Dry throughout the hotel mold in our bathroom on the ceiling big patches of mold we should’ve bolted from this place, but I already paid through Hotels.com. The balcony looks like it’s ready to fall down. I’m going to call the city and complain. feces residue in the toilet when we arrived

Do not stay here. Dangerous and hazards everywhere in the room- things broken, things missing, we had a leak in our room (which we told person at front desk and they didn’t do anything). No one was ever at the front desk to help. The location of the hotel was great, but that was the only thing pleasant about this hotel. I wish I would’ve read the other reviews before staying here.

I am a very well seasoned traveler and this is probably no this is the worst place. I’ve ever stayed. It was dirty. The beds were so uncomfortable and squeaky and slumped in the middle. There was no closets to hang anything just too big dresser drawers. The lighting Was pretty much nonexistent. There was a light fixture, but it didn’t have two bulbs in it and there was no light switch to turn it on anyway. The other light flickered. When we arrived, there were no toiletry items I had to request them after I had complained on my arrival comments. The place was very dirty. In fact we found somebody else’s socks and room key in the room still. It seems great. You’re right next to the beach but extremely noisy, and I would rather walk to the beach farther than this place again. Also extremely overpriced.

The bathroom door didn’t close and there a male African American knocking on some of the doors. We were leaving the next morning, so I didn’t think anything of it at the time.

We were greeted by the most helpful and pleasant front office staff named Christina at the Villa Rosa Inn. Apparently Ala Mar is owned by Villa Rosa Inn and I think the owners also run the one across the street too. Christina was quick and efficient, yet friendly and sweet. Our room 104 at Ala Mar by the Sea was comfortable and clean. We could tell they are in the process of updating some of the door frames. Ours was a beautiful Spanish style door. Christina let us know that we were welcomed to join the Villa Rosa Inn for breakfast and happy hour. The fireplace and seating area at Villa Rosa Inn was quaint and comfortable as well. We felt welcomed by the staff at Villa Rosa Inn, as we hung out there a few times during the rain this past weekend. All in all I will stay at the Ala Mar by the Sea again. It was such a great deal for a place directly across from the ocean!!

The location is great. The hotel itself clean, but not well maintained. We were on the second floor, the balcony sags in many places, the roof above in certain areas looks like it’s coming down. Burned out lightbulbs in the bathroom, toilet cover cracked, poor water pressure, shower head leaks and sprays water sideways. Couple of homeless people hang out on the sidewalk and plug their phones in next to the ice machine. Free breakfast was at the hotel next door, much better shape, but the breakfast was way on the cheap side. The place needs a total restoration to regain its prior beauty.
