My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed bag. The location is definitely a highlight, being close to the beach and other attractions. However, I encountered some serious issues in my room, including a lack of hot water and the unsettling discovery of bedbugs. While the staff did their best to assist, the overall experience was not ideal, especially given the price I paid.

Rooms
5.0
The room was a major letdown; there was no hot water, and unfortunately, I found bedbugs, which made my stay uncomfortable. The view was blocked by a wall, which was disappointing.
Service
7.0
The service was decent. I had hoped to see some familiar faces at check-in, but the staff did their best to help despite being busy with other guests.
Location

The location is great; it's a quick walk to the beach and near popular casinos, making it convenient for a getaway.

Facilities seemed average, nothing particularly impressive or lacking. It felt like there could be more amenities to enhance the stay.
