    Parking on site was not at hotel. We had to get a voucher and go across the street and check in with the desk there. Then go to the parking entrance and call the person to open the gate. Then there is no stairs or elevator and guests from other hotels were required to park on floor 3 and above. Had to walk up and down the same area as cars. Not safe and not accommodating for anyone with a disability. Our room was right near the check in desk. High traffic walking past late at night was very loud as far as people talking and suitcases rolling by. We could barely sleep.

    Friendly staff. Room was spacious and clean. Right on the beach.

    My son and I was racially profiled , by a management , we arrived at or around 11am , he gave us a parking pass to park , he said Check in is at 3:00 , we said ok , we hung out walking y to he strip , then the boardwalk , arrived back to the hotel after 1:00 , he said the rules are , not to let anyone check in until 3:00 but yet people that was Hispanic or white he was starting to check them in and keep telling me my room is not ready , I said so because we’re African American we can’t get a room before 3:00 like everyone else he was just handing out keys meaning checking people in , he had already checked me in around 11am , Al I needed was the key we sit there for 2 hours watching other people get checked in we were the African American sitting on in the lobby with all our stuff , all the years I’ve been booking hotels at the beach never ran into any racial problems , but I thought about the name of the hotel Aqa Vista I , I overlooked that and it’s just a name but I’ve learn my lesson because it s 75 percent Hispanic I , so I found this hotel management to be disrespectful to me as and African American woman and my son , this hotel was booked through booking . Com days before I arrived ,

    Very clean

    Only that it was on the beach

    Our room was just ok the furniture was way old and need replaced, the floor lamp was dangerously the top of it where the bulb screws in was hanging off, the door to go on patio was all glass with no curtain and it also was very outdated, we had no remote for the tv the entire time, had to ask for towels every day and take our garbage out. The toilet and sink were in different rooms so you had to touch the door handle to get out of the room just to go wash your hands. One elevator for the entire facility which was extremely slow.

    The layout isn’t the best you can hear everyone in the halls . Tiled flooring so you can hear everything that rolled across the floor. The coloring is dark tan and makes you feel like i don’t know depressed.

    The location was great! Everything was walking distance

    Parking is not on site it is across street up one block ocean view room is a Joke paid an extra $40 to be able to see the ocean. Only way to see it though was to lean over the balcony and peek between two buildings. What an absolute rip-off! They should not be able to call that an ocean view room there's no window covering that goes over the door. You can close the curtains but the door is wide open tv didn't work took about 20 minutes from maintenance to come up. He tried several different things. Ended up having to go get another TV to put in the room while he was bringing it in the room. Some other guy just followed him in like it was no big deal when he saw me still sitting in there. He was shocked, apologized and left the room immediately. But what does that mean? Maintenance would have allowed him to just come in my room. He wouldn't be able to watch him. He was busy replacing the TV. Definitely thought this was a little sketchy. No one should be allowed in your room at any given time

    Location was Great except for parking

    Parking at the office to check in was dangerous. Hotel parking was over a block away.There was only one small elevator that was very slow or did not arrive. We had to walk the steps half the time to and from the fifth floor. When we asked a staff member about the elevator he said Spanish. It was difficult to communicate to some staff due to the fact they apparently did not understand English.

    The room was large and clean. It was walking distance to the beach.

    Only 1 elevator for guests & staff. Parking isn’t on site & very congested to load & unload belongings before parking a block away. The parking area available is also very congested & sometimes too full requiring guests to go through another process to get parking. The rooms are sub par & a bit run down but for the low rate of an oceanfront room what you’d expect.

    Oceanfront balcony with great view of the beach. Very close to beach access & right on the boardwalk.

    Because it was windy, the door to the patio (which was not adequately sealed) screamed all night. I'm not talking about a mild whistling, I'm talking about needing ear plugs. The parking situation was very bad. The lot is half a block away, only built for compact cars, and does not have enough spaces for the number of guests. The circular unload area near the lobby was always blocked, so we had to illegally park to get the voucher to park at the hotel next door (which is also built for compact cars).

    The room was clean, and the view was great.
