Unsecured Wi-Fi sends all network traffic in plaintext. This should discourage anyone from staying in the hotel for business reasons.

You can clearly tell that the best years of the hotel are in the past. It's a big, nice hotel right in front of the beach. Easy parking, but not a lot of places to walk to. Comfortable bed and comfortable bathroom. Everything was clean.

friendly staff, Cery's at reception really helpful and so was the other members that i met. Really nicely warmed pool, what a treat. Decor is slightly dated, but location was great not too near the strip but also walkable. Walking on the prom was refereshing despite the wind. We had breakfast at the different cafe's along the prom
