The room feels a bit austere, but the corner room ocean view was amazing, and the bed was very comfortable. And importantly, the room was clean. The receptionist who checked us in and out was extremely friendly and helpful.

Our plane arrive early and even though we could not check in that early Carmen greeted us with a smile, tagged all our bags and stormed them for us. She saw I needed water to take some medication and offered me a bottle of water. She took my phone number so she could contact us when the first available room was ready. I missed her text so she called about 15 minutes later to let us know the room was ready. The room was a refreshing 66 degrees which felt so good coming in from the heat. I was a bit concerned about being on the ground floor but it ended up being not only convenient but surprisingly quiet. The black out curtains let you sleep like a baby until what ever time you were ready to wake up. The breakfast was very good offering scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, waffles, fresh fruit and danishes along with choices of bread/bagels,4 different juices and coffee and tea. Overall we had a very good stay.

Mike and the front desk staff were awesome. Very helpful, thorough and accommodating. It was my first time traveling with my 10 month old, so I had requested a side crib through the booking. When I checked in, Mike acknowledged it was already set up in the room without having to reconfirm myself. Suggesting to stay hydrated with their water bottle service. Everyone was very professional and likeable :)

The room was clean and bed was comfy. Bathroom was very small but clean. Their bar was not functional so if you wanted a drink, you had to go next door or to their sister hotel behind them, as well as the pool which was not convenient but was ok. An older hotel of course but very helpful staff.

The hotel is well-maintained, the room was clean and comfortable. It is very close to the beach with easy access to restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. Even being on a busy area, we didn’t hear noises from the street, as our room was facing the side of the hotel. The AC, however, was noisy and made it difficult to sleep at night. The parking on the nearby area is also a challenge and the valet parking service provided by the hotel is very expensive. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay.

Expedia told us we had to arrive at sister property The President Hotel due to a road blockage at the Penguin. We had to drag large suitcases up several steps and down an alley to arrive at the Penguin, only to find that the street was OPEN. We could have arrived directly at the front door!
