Arriving at the check-in of this hotel I could feel a strong stench of sewage from the lobby inside. Much worse, there is no elevator, and therefore the lobby is very dirty. Thinking times before booking will make your vacation a nightmare.
The code to the door lock malfunctioned multiple times. They didn’t have extra towels to supply when needed. If you just a place to sleep close to 5th street and the beach this is good for that.

I liked the localization, I didnt enjoy the beach club.
I liked the pool, I didnt like the TV was blocked.
I liked the food in another hotel, I dint like that it was mandatory to pay for it.
I liked the room but the hotel needs general maintenance.
Thank you.
The staff tried to be helpful after asking a few times to be moved. The smell in the first two rooms they put us in was so horrible I slept on the balcony the first night cause the smell was nauseating that was coming from the sewer pipe in the bathroom. Very noisy in the front. They put us in a room in the back and ithe smell wasn't as bad and it was quieter. Breakfast was good and served buffet style.

Pros: generally nice, great location, friendly staff, rooftop is great
Cons: they hit me with a mandatory fee in person for breakfast and beach club entry. They didn't have change. Low water pressure in the bathroom. No one came to clean my room while I was there.
Shower wasnr working properly at night i woke up 3 times because of noise you can hear people on the stairs i give them 2 stars couple years ago i stayed there it was much better condition i had to chane room twice to fond descent room one balcony lock was broken amother time safe didnt lock i give them 2 star
It is good place to stay on the budget. It is outdated and our room smelled old. No elevator in the hotel. Convenient location close to the beach and 5th Ave
I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. The first night, we had to change rooms because the AC was spitting a large amount of water and ice at a plug on the wall. We had a mini swimming pool when we entered to the room. The shower curtain in this room was the cheapest curtain you can imagine. The some of the hooks were missing, so it was very trashy and ghetto specially with the price we paid. Also this hotel had internet issues, so they didn't have internet for my 2 days. I was lucky to have data in my phone. The 2nd room we stayed, was better looking but still too much $ for what we got. There are better and prettier hotels in playa for the same or less money. We had another family (we were 2 adults with out moms) coming up to playa, so we left the hotel and we booked a different one bc I knew it wasn't the best and the non Internet was a big problem. The girls at the reception were nice and always trying to help.
I never saw a room like the one they show at these pictures. It is like 2 diff hotels
You are what you are paying for, but when I stayed there like 3 years ago the service, the room and the cleanliness was way better. I stayed there before they had the pool. Location is great, but other than that its changed. The front desk agent was too casual and had some friends hanging out with her.

Rude stuff, lack of respect to the business
Stayed at this hotel on my extended trip. Good location but extremely rude stuff. Management does not care for clients and will not let you talk to owners to resolve issue. Stayed here over a month they keep changing stuff that is not trained to work in hospitality environment. They will try to charge for a guest even if its just one and make you feel uncomfortable for visitors (including rooftop visits) which is more simple with all other hotels i've stayed in. Be carefull with safety boxes batteries are not replaced when needed and if you have to leave fast you might have to wait for master key.
