I usually stay at the Pinnacle nearby, but decided to give this place a try since it was closer to the beach and the price was right. Having to check in/out at a different location is a needless hassle, since there’s a lobby office at V177, as well as round the clock security (it seems like the keys could have been left with them). The building itself is relatively new, in a good location, and the rooftop pool has a beautiful, unobstructed view. The room was reasonably clean and large, though a bit odd: the windows on either side of the bed open right out onto the hallway, meaning you have to keep the shades lowered the whole time for any privacy. The bed was thin and hard, with linens that felt old and worn and only a couple of pillows and a very light coverlet. Toiletries were minimal, and the kitchen was equipped with mismatched dishware and silverware that was laughably cheap. Since there’s no staff to deal with the unit on site, any issue you have has to be handled via the office at a hotel several blocks away - meaning it can be a long wait if you’re trying to get something fixed (e.g., my room safe didn’t have any instructions and I apparently locked it incorrectly, meaning I couldn’t access anything in it until someone could come and unlock it the next day). Though the room was on the 5th floor, the view wasn’t much to speak of - it overlooked some scruffy buildings and a construction site. It’s not awful, nor a bad value for the money. But I doubt I'll be back.
