The vibe is cool, lots of potential. Loved the shuffle board and games. Rooms are cute and comfortable. The bath sink is small but knew that from looking at pictures. The people working there were prompt, friendly and accommodating. With pool being closed, not much seating outside to be honest. Areas unhappy with:
-dog friendly I am ok with but this felt like a dog resort - sooooo many dogs. Dogs sitting on chairs at bar, furniture inside and even on the one couch outside. There are stains all over the carpets in lobby and in hallways that I assume are from the dogs. This is a newer hotel and if I were the hotel I would cap the number of dogs allowed per night to avoid damages, excessive barking and for those not bringing their dogs to not feel like they are at a dogs resort LOL
- very loud. Every time a door closed above you or on your hall -you could hear it… all through the night. I couldn’t sleep.
- there was a lot of pot being smoked in rooms and on patios. Our hallways smelled like weed. I woke up to weed and went to bed smelling it along with our kids :(
- hallways are very dark and odd.
-this end of beach (south of 30th) is much different than North End. If you are looking for a more family oriented area, spend more and stay near Embassy Suites/Cavalier.
I like the vibe and intention but they definitely need to limit the dogs, replace the carpets and limit all the smoking in the hotel so that it’s more accommodating for families.
