Location is very good. Receptionist was kind and helpful. Easy to go to downtown and Megamart. I stayed in room 309. Room was clean. However, hot water is not available, and water pressure is very low. Except for the water issue, it is a good hotel.

• We mistakenly booked 6 nights instead of 7; returned two hours after checkout to find belongings removed.
• Staff tried contacting us at 1:06 but stated the would remove items by 1:11 throwing them carelessly into bags. Passports and other valuables were scattered without care.
• Manager was dismissive, interrupted us, and unapologetically said, “This is how we operate.”
• Policy states they can charge for another night, but they claimed they couldn’t, forcing us to rebook a more expensive room online.
• When we expressed our concerns, the manager said, “Go write a review; it doesn’t matter—we have a business to run.”
• Rooms were okay, but the lack of professionalism and empathy overshadowed everything.
If you stay here, don’t expect top-tier customer service or care for guests most of the staff didnt even greet us throughout the week.

First of all, the staff are helpful and willing to do whatever they can. BUT,some things in these condos cannot be fixed or repaired. No hot water in any of the showers. Sewer smells everywhere around the property. Jaccuzi not in operation.Very hot in the hallways and the elevator.The rooftop pool is very nice, even though the water is very cold, at best.Poolside bar not in operation either. Sugar ants under the sink area as well.On our second month we started of having problems with Visa payment. Not Visa' s fault they say, nor is it the condos problem. Had to get cash in order to stay in December. Reception young lady was helpful so I could max out my withdrawal at the ATM and pay it over 3 days. Not what you want, or need, to do on a nice warm vacation.

My family got stuck in the elevator due to a power outage for almost an hour. They did not have a generator, and we had to call 911 since the company managing the elevator was not responding. Additionally, the property did not have the emergency key to the elevator.
I had booked two rooms, but due to the emergency, we lost access to one of them. The staff did not have a master key or any means to open the room, and we had to wait approximately four hours to regain access after the elevator incident.
Furthermore, we overheard during the interaction with the firemen that the property lacks many basic safety protocols. Besides the absence of a generator, there were no emergency lights, and the person at the reception did not have access to a master or emergency key.
Despite all of this, we did not receive an apology or any form of compensation from the property.

Great apartment! The air conditioning and Wi-Fi worked exceptionally well, and the apartment was very clean. It was just a short walk to the main strip, and close to amenities like a grocery store, the beach, and a hospital. The kitchen was convenient for preparing meals, and the balcony was a beautiful spot to relax at any time of day. I would definitely stay again.

We had a great stay. The location was close to all my favorite restaurants and right next to Mega and Walmart. The front desk was always helpful as well. The only drawbacks we noticed were that the hallways were pretty hot and the shower could've had more pressure. Other than that everything was good. Check-out the rooftop pool if you have time. It was perfect. I'd definately come back.

I had two reasons for staying here, work and sleep. The WiFi router in my room did not work. I went to the desk to see if someone could fix it. The girl said she would have to call someone to do it...but didn't bother to get help. She said I should use the WiFi from the room next door. I said I need a router to plug my cable in to for the type of work I need to do. She said the work area has nothing to plug into either so I got no work done except searching for another hotel, and another place to work.
The side of the building my room was on has two big bright floodlights that are so bright my room was filled with way too much light to sleep.
So, I got very little work done and I can't say that I slept either. It was a waste of money and time. I booked a week somewhere else

The reception employees were great. The blazing heat in the hallways will probably keep me away. Take a shower and immediately start sweating when exiting.

Good: It was a great place for the price. The location is good, not too far from the main area, about a 5-minute walk. Felt very safe around. The building itself looks very new and clean. The pool was awesome.
Could be better: Both rooms we got had issues with a safe. Its lock wasn't working. One of the rooms had an issue with the fire alarm. Both issues did not get resolved while staying for 4 nights.
