Negative Reviews
negative:
Guests may find the pool is small
Previous guests often mention that they found the hotel’s pool a little on the small side. As you might imagine, this facility is popular with younger guests. Hence, it can feel quite crowded at times.
negative:
Too far from the beach for some
Guests occasionally mention that they would have preferred to stay a little nearer the beach (and other attractions). However, chain hotels closer to the beach are few and far between so you would likely pay a considerably higher price for a beach front property. With transport, the location has suited many past guests.
negative:
Parking issues
A number of guests have found the parking lot at this hotel a little tight, especially so for those with larger vehicles. Other guests note that the lot is frequented by homeless people, which has made guests feel a little uneasy.
