I wonder what the property will be like after a year?
Same here. Some 500 hotels later, I still remember the place for pretending to be a luxury hotel without offering any real luxury.
IIRC, it changed hands a few times during the last 12 or 13 years, which is never a good sign. It is right on the beach, but sandwiched between other buildings, so the location of your room is key.
Probably a good alternative, but nothing really special.
