I absolutely loved the location of this hotel, right in the heart of the hip strip with Doctor Cave Beach just across the road. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, but the rooms definitely need better soundproofing after a long flight. Despite some noise issues, the value for money was reasonable.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were not the best, as I had to wait for over 2 hours for a squishy room with an old TV that wasn't working properly, although they made an effort to keep it clean. On the bright side, the service at the hotel was outstanding with great attention from the helpful staff. The location was convenient, with easy access to entertainment spots and dining options. However, the dining choices were limited, offering only basic options. The facilities were decent but not exceptional.

The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of the Hip strip, offering convenience to various attractions. The rooms, though marketed with specific amenities, were not as expected and could be improved. The service was mixed with exceptionally friendly staff but encountered additional fees that were off-putting. The location is vibrant but may not suit everyone due to its surroundings. Dining options were limited. Overall, a decent choice with some drawbacks.

I arrived at 7 PM to a room that was clearly not ready and faced a disappointing view of a brick wall. The hotel lacks balconies, but the staff were attentive, helpful, and friendly. The location is brilliant, being close to everything you need for a great vacation, though not ideal without pre-arranging transport. Dining options were limited, but the facilities were good overall.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the bright side, it had a great location right across from the beautiful Dr Cave beach and the staff were super friendly. However, the rooms were a bit dark and could have used better lighting. Additionally, the dining options were lacking, but the historical vibes of the service added a unique touch.

Rooms

The rooms were on the dark side, with views of the bush on one side and the roof on the other. A bit more lighting would have made a big difference.

The hotel was not up to my standards regarding room cleanliness and comfort, especially due to the loud street noise at night. However, the service, especially from Akierah, Shay, and Doc, was extremely friendly and helpful. The location was convenient for accessing the main shopping area and Doctor's Cave beach. The dining options were limited, and the facilities need upgrading.

The hotel seemed like a blast from the past of a roach motel with rooms that were far in the back, a bit musty smelling, and without any view. The place needs a bit of an upgrade, but the service was VERY friendly and helped me organize my holidays. The location is very convenient, just a few minutes walk to the beach and right on the 'Hip Strip'. The dining experience was a joke, as the so-called continental breakfast had only fruits, bread, and pastries. Overall, the facilities need updating, but the staff was friendly and extremely helpful.

I found the hotel to be located in a lively area with a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although spacious, felt unsecured and outdated. The service was friendly but somewhat lazy at times. The location was vibrant, although noisy with ongoing construction nearby. The dining options were limited, and the hotel facilities could use some upgrades.

The hotel is situated right on the bustling hip-strip, offering a convenient location for exploring without the need for taxis. The staff was exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to assist tourists and locals. The dining options were a bit limited, especially for breakfast, but the overall value for money was decent.

Rooms

After a tiring 10-hour flight, the room felt like a step back in time to a dated motel. I had to request a more secure room at reception. The mattress, pillows, window coverings, and linen could definitely use an update.
