adequate breakfastpoor soundproofingcleaning solution odor
The breakfast was adequate (nothing special).
I found the lack of soundproofing quite noticeable. I could hear conversations and other noises from adjacent rooms clearly. The room had an odd odor I believe was from the cleaning solution used.

early check-inmodern roomcheerful servicesmall poolchipped wallscompact bathroom
I arrived a bit early, and the staff let me check in two hours ahead of schedule. i appreciated the updated, modern room. the breakfast service provided by faustina was great. She was really cheerful and created a nice atmosphere.
The pool was small and tucked away in the back of the hotel. It lacked sufficient lighting. some areas of the walls had chips, which indicated a need for better maintenance. the bathroom felt a bit compact, which might not suit larger individuals.

the staff were friendly and helpful. breakfast had many options (i liked the bagels). the location was close to both the beach and main street. This made getting around very easy.
the walls were thin. i could hear noise from the surrounding rooms. this made it difficult to get a good night's rest. i hope they can find a solution for that (maybe thicker walls?).
