The hotel you experience is NOTHING compared to the hotel itself. The owners have let this place ruin and the quality of the staff is worse. The only positives were the comfort of the bed and the location. Otherwise the bathroom was small and uncomfortable with only one frosted glass door shared between toilet and shower. The glass mirror hanging from ceiling was hanging on by a thread, huge danger and staff blew it off because its still hanging. Television did not work, they had already corrected it 2x before i gave up. Pool was green, this was the worst part because to me, it was the best amenity here. Staff said it was “chemicals, give it two hours”. Well 2 days later still just as moldy. Hotel breakfast was good, but the service was very bad. Unfriendly, and simply not wanting to serve, it was weird. Front staff stole an item left at the counter and when we went back to ask for it she was rude and snooty and looked angry towards us every single time we walked in the door. I felt like i was getting to work late or something every time she was there, staring angrily. Otherwise, fridge worked well, cute but useless deck unless you want to hear blaring music til 5am. There was a convenient store a couple doors down and taxis dont go all the way to the hotel, but pretty close. I would not stay here again unless there was a better room available.

Great location
This is a boutique hotel with a Fantastic location!! On the Beach and a block away from 5th avenue. The have a restaurant on site that transitions into a beach bar (on the beach) called the Sand Bar (I think). The deck 5 Sky bar give a beautiful view on the ocean. The deck 5 sky bar is on the smaller side (but very nicely down) as it is a boutique hotel. We will stay there again. The beds are great for …..
