The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms, but there were some issues with bathroom dampness and humidity. The service was good, although there were language limitations with tour recommendations. The location is fantastic near the beach and eateries, but the closing time could have been later. The dining options were limited, with a view to the beach, and the facilities are well-maintained.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative aspects. The room was clean and nice, but it had a stuffy smell at times. The location was perfect in the Boca Grande area with easy access to stores and restaurants, offering a beautiful beach view. The service had its highs and lows, with some staff being great and helpful, while others seemed more focused on money. The dining options were a bit limited, but overall satisfactory.

The hotel is very outdated and needs better cleanliness around the bed. The minibar offers expensive snacks and water. The staff are extremely kind and helpful, but sometimes appear inattentive, likely due to a demanding boss or clientele. The location, right in front of Bocagrande beach, is excellent for beach lovers and close to local food sources. The dining experience is above average but lacks variety with the same options every morning, and there are panhandlers outside, even at the beach.

The hotel's location is excellent, being next to the beach and close to various local food sources. The rooms, while barely having storage space, were adequate and tasty. The service was mostly friendly, although recommendations for Spanish-speaking tours posed a challenge. The location was perfect, providing easy access to the beach, restaurants, cabs, and more in a bustling urban setting. Dining options, while limited, offered fresh omelettes daily.

The hotel offers a stunning ocean view from every angle, but the air conditioning struggles to cool the bed area. The rooms are spacious, clean, but show signs of aging. The staff are incredibly kind and go above and beyond to meet all our needs, making the stay memorable. The location is safe and convenient with a mix of positive and negative elements. The dining experience is decent with both hot and cold options but lacks in a more updated feel. Overall, a mix of highlights and drawbacks.

The hotel is ideally located in the heart of Boca Grande, offering easy access to the main beach and a variety of nearby eateries with budget-friendly prices. While the rooms are more like a 3.5-star standard and lack balconies, they do provide a partial sea view.
