Thought it is a no frils hotel, they do very well at making you feel welcomed. If I had any issue, it will be that they may benefit from an ice machine and or a soda vending machine. Other than this it is a great hotel to stay in a budget. Good Job and thanks.

Jacquelin

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. I checked in late at night to a room that smelled like mold and water damage. The odor was overwhelming. When I pulled back the sheets, I found cockroaches in the bed — absolutely disgusting. The neighborhood felt unsafe, with drunk people yelling outside during the night. I was supposed to stay for two nights but left after the first because it was unbearable. When I tried to contact the front desk the next morning, it was closed. None of the phone numbers worked, and no one ever called me back. I dropped the keys in their box as instructed, but that was it. This hotel is filthy, sketchy, and completely unprofessional. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone

Cancelled Show

My stay at Hotel Aqua Mar was good. It was cleaner and in better condition than I anticipated. It is definitely not a luxury hotel, but it provided all the amenities you would need such as a mini-fridge, coffee maker. It is close to the harbor which is nice. The bed wasn't very comfortable, but I have slept on worse. The room is on a main street, so the morning is a bit noisy. The hotel is good for the value. I will stay here again.

Worst night of sleep!

Checked in and the key card at first wouldn’t work. When I came back from dinner and got ready to relax, I Hansard the people upstairs from my room walking back and forth almost continuously! They continued to do that for several hours. I had to put earphones in to cut down the noise. Lousy night!

Clean enough

This was a very last minute stay. It was late at night when we arrived so it took some effort to find someone to open up the lobby. The room was nothing special. Small but clean and good for one night. Bed frame was loud tho.
