    Seems like there's no staff! Room service didn't exist! I had to go to the front dest for things theroom should have provided extras of, like blankets, tissues, and towels. There were only 2 places to get food from, and they were sold out of things every kid wants like pizza.

    The hotel is kid friendly, so the kids always have something to do

    The air conditioning in our room stopped working the first night. The furniture is very outdated. There weren’t too many outlets. The ice machine did not work. The linen on the bed was very thin of poor quality.

    The staff was helpful and friendly. Amanda at the front desk was amazing and professional

    It's old, faded and feels generally neglected outside of the rooms (which are good). They closed the casino, which I didn't know, and this is a more slots and kids vibe than anything else. Parking costs about $26 a night which is crazy.

    Nice room with sea view.

    Great price. Good location to take children due to having several activities they can participate.

    Only 2 restaurants in the actual hotel and the are basically pizza and burgers, and the room wasn't that clean. There was reddish hair in the shower. I prepared for that based on the reviews, so I cleaned the room when I arrived.

    The price of the tickets were way too much. I spent over $70 for the tickets for one day and then it went down to $49 the next day, but I don’t feel you should have to pay each day. You’re staying there as long as your guest in the hotel, it should be included in the first price of your night of your stay in your room if you are outside guest, then you should have to pay each day you come in but as long as you’re staying there, it should be free for you to enter the waterpark once you pay one time

    The location was good. I like the fact that they did build an indoor waterpark for everyone for the adults and the kids, but I feel bad once you buy your ticket and you’re staying there. You should have access to the waterpark every day as long as you’re staying in the hotel if you’re outsiders coming in then of course you should pay each day you come in the hotel is very old. The rugs could use washing and vacuuming daily. It was stains in the rugs, the hallways didn’t smell clean The rug smell like an old mop my mirror in the bathroom was broken. The bed had no mattress cover underneath the sheets. It was just a pure mattress which also had stains on it with the sheet on top of it way more restaurants that need to be open, catering to children and adults, and they need way more staff to help out and answer questions when people have questions

    The hotel should offer breakfast. Also, the waterpark and the pool were closed so my kids didn’t get to do any water activities. Also, parking was $25 a day.

    This is a great hotel to stay at if you’re traveling with children. There was so much to do to keep them occupied. There was an Arcade, mini golf, roller skating, mini bowling, and a really nice Go-Kart track. The rooms were a nice size and up to date. The bed was comfy and the pillows were soft. I will certainly be going back.

    I didn’t like the fact that the adult park was completely gone. No warm water, too many kids everywhere. Also Sunday the day to check out the elevators went down and couldn’t get back upstairs to get my girlfriend who had luggage and had to take the stairs from the 20th floor. That was a disaster.

    I liked the waterpark

    • House of Blues Junior Suite King

    There were some issues with checking in. We were originally given a standard king room without being told that the House of Blues Suites Junior Suites were being renovated and were surprised to see the standard room when opening the door. When going back down to the front desk we were told that the suite shouldn't have been available for booking online. Another employee overhead the conversation and said the rooms were available. We were then given the correct room we booked. Just some communication to the front desk staff and transparency with guests would have prevented the issue from happening.

    The location is great with lots of attractions in walking distance in the area. We booked a House of Blues Suite that has a unique vibe with the decor. Loved the layout of the room and had plenty of towels and toiletries. The room was in a quiet section of the hotel. We basically had the floor to ourselves.

    Staff was a bit rude. It is a non-smoking hotel but had many areas that reeked of marijuana. Although the hotel room was clean, the common areas (hallways, elevators, etc) were outdated and filthy looking. They charged a $175 security deposit at checkin for a one night stay (2 adults, no kids, no pets).

    The room was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The view of the ocean was amazing.

    They don’t serve breakfast until 11 which is legit the time you check out. They barely have ANY food options available unlike the other hotels who have wonder array of restaurants and casual dining. We legit walked next door to the ocean for late night snacks and breakfast because this place just has nothing to offer food wise. It’s also a hotel without a Casio so there are a TON of kids and the halls ways are usually filled of running and screaming kids. I wanted to save money coming down on the weekend but next time I’ll just pay the extra and stay at the ocean. I won’t have to walk for food and I won’t be bothered by yelling in my room.

    The arcade is super cool and open until 2 on weekends so it really gives you more to do than gamble late at night
