Hotel location great, Hotel rooms good clean and comfortable, but I had specifically requested a room near the elevator as I am old and not capable to walk stairs or many steps. The room which was chosen was just the opposite. It was in 4th floor and elevator goes only to 3rd. The rest was stairs! Luckily I had my family traveling with me and could switch rooms.

Can’t beat the view

The penguin staff was attentive to our every need, I stayed after surgery and was very comfortable. It would have been more convenient to have a microwave in my particular situation, but the food choices in the area were phenomenal so it didn’t matter in the end. I booked the top floor and highly recommend it!

Great location, Great staff

Really cute hotel right on the main walkway/beach. Walkable to all sorts of restaurants and bars. The pool is at the sister property just behind this and was super easy to get to. The rooms were a little tight to open suitcases and we had to take turns but there were four of us in the room. Hotel was quiet at night.

Simple, great views , clean

Beautiful little hotel right on the beach. We had a great view. The room was small and simple- but immaculate. The bed and pillows were comfortable. With Icean Ave closed to traffic, getting to room for the first time and departing are a bit of a pain- you have to park with the Valet at their sister hotel, The President, and take your luggage down the alley between properties to the President to get your car. There is a Bellman. Parking was $8 more than stated in Hotels.com listing.

I like the location, didn’t like there was no actual pool on the roof top as advertised. The hotel offered free breakfast (nice Gesture) however, the choices or options were of poor quality. The orange juice was tasteless. Great welcome choice drinks tickets at the bar.

Disappointed

We got in late and wanted the complementary drink. They told us we could not get it untill after 12:00 the next day. Thats funny because we stayed for one night and check out is at 11:00. The bed was lumppy and the pillows were flat bricks. Oh an I get up at 7:00 Am to go to the Lobby to get coffee and they dont serve coffee here. Turns out I have to go next door to the same place that serves the complementary breakfast and drink that doesn't open untill 8:00 am.I will say who ever did the marketing for this place gets a 5 star because the photos and the reviews were great.
