Ok for one night. But not the best area for noise in hotel and street noise
Ian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.

I was looking for a break from the heat, my house doesn't have AC. This was a nice spot for a couple of nights. It's on a busy street, but noise wasn't an issue for me! I would 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!
Lonner, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room smelled of mold or paint lacquer and a $10 charge to clean room Reception was nice
Martin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
