Too loud for comfort but good place if you party
I booked five days without realizing the hotel was on the busiest street with only pedestrians and loud music which you can hear in your room til 4am. It was like Las Vegas, all bars and restaurants I thought from the pictures it was on the beach area. It was ok for two days not five. My husband and I left early the noise was too much. We left to have the room serviced when we came back only bed was made, towels weee left dirty, glasses dirty. The reception people and asst manager were really nice and helpful. I would not stay again
