While the rooms offer generous space and views, some guests have pointed out issues with cleanliness and maintenance. The hotel's atmosphere is generally considered welcoming, thanks to recent updates. However, opinions on service and amenities vary, with instances of staff friendliness being overshadowed by communication gaps and outdated features. Despite the inconsistencies, certain travelers find the hotel to provide a satisfactory value.

This is a party hotel. The staff is rude, the rooms could be cleaner. Great location, captains quarters use is a cool option and the pool and beach area is fun. Overall I liked it, but I don't think a family would enjoy it. Also, there isn't enough parking for the entire hotel.

Dear Kaitlin W, Thank you for the review of your recent experience at Hotel Blue. We pride ourselves with being the friendliest place on the beach and I'm disappointed that the front desk team did not exceed your expectations while you were our guest. Although our Vegas style pool party we host on Sundays called Therapy is appropriate for 18+ we have created contests and activities that are appropriate for kids as well. Our guests also have access to our sister Property Captains Quarters and they have an array of amenities for kids as well. Most recently, we were auditioning DJs for the summer and we make it a priority to ensure our events are fun and safe and enjoyable for all. I apologize that our 8 levels of parking did not meet your expectations. There is also overflow parking available upon request based on demand. Thanks again for the review and we hope you will give us another opportunity to serve you in the future. Kind Regards, Antonio Cole, General Manager

We bought a groupon for this for $49 per night. I was a little nervous, not knowing what to expect. It's an older hotel but very clean. Even the parking deck. Ocean view rooms overlook the pool so it can be a little noisy. We were on 6th floor. Most nights it was quiet by 8. We visited on weekdays so I can't say for weekends. We will be back!

Checking in was a breeze. Both times checking in and out I had two very nice gentlemen that was great service. Went down to the lobby about staying another night and getting my security deposit back and the lady that happened to be working never smiled and kinda was rude. But that's my only complaint on the customer service. Location is nice and the pool and hot tub was very nice. The hotel place music at the pool which is very cool but maybe for older people could be a bother. Room was cleaned everyday and had no complaints. I did go in the middle of the week so the hotel was kinda empty but seemed to get busy on the weekend. Elevator ran fine and wasn't slow like many other hotels. Overall I would stay again. Good deal for the money I spent and ocean front was amazing

This place is in the middle of much needed renovations. The staff were really good about transferring our reservation to another hotel nearby. We were wiling to give it a try, but when we woke up to no hot water, we had no choice. Thankfully, the front desk helped us out, and that was super appreciated. I hope they are able to finish up the renovations soon.

Dear Zacatti, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the hot water. Unfortunately, it was due to circumstances beyond our control. However, I'm glad we were able to accommodate relocating you to our sister property. We've just about wrapped up the major renovation projects that commenced over the off-season and we're looking forward to a great 2016 Season. We look forward to seeing you back soon.

We were in MB for a soccer tournament and this was chosen for the team hotel. When trying to book over the phone under our group rate, Ashley hung up on us twice and then transferred us to ANOTHER HOTEL! The other hotel (Captain's Quarters) was a sister property and took the time to book us because they could log into their system. Ashley seemed completely incompetent and if the team was not already staying there, we would have chosen another hotel. The lobby has a bar but people are constantly walking in and out for check-in so it is not relaxing. There is a very small Starbucks in the lobby for coffee drinkers. Our rooms were mediocre for $157 a night (which was a discount for the group). The bathtub had cigarette burns, the shower and sink was very clogged and you had to wait

I have stayed here multiple times in the past but was thoroughly disappointed this time. We had to change rooms 3 times because of them not being clean. The 1st had stuff all over the toilet the floor was sticky and bed not made. The 2nd had a hole in the middle of the mattress not little about 10 inches x 10 inches. Finally the 3rd room was ok but had to move again because it was already booked. They had beer pong in the hot tub. People having sex in the hot tub at night. Definitely not family friendly. In our last room we had a maintenance guy that would just randomly walk in so you never felt safe and locked my things in the trunk in fear of personal belongings being stolen.

Positives: Spacious room with full kitchen, nice beach view. Starbucks available in lobby. Negatives: Within 45 minutes of arrival vehicle was stolen from parking garage. No apology from staff until day two when general manager just happened to ask about our stay and he did allow a late check out. No other compensation, no surveillance cameras in garage for customer safety. When we mentioned perhaps they should look into cameras we got no response. Just felt unsafe the entire stay and someone was just waiting to take the car, lots of staff on the level when we parked and we also did give make and model of car when checking in to front desk. Car was recovered 0.7 miles from hotel two days later. Overall would not recommend this hotel for a stay.

The entrance of Hotel Blue is very easy to find (unlike other hotels I have experienced), staff was very friendly and waiting to help my family. Attached parking garage makes it easily accessible to your vehicle if need be. Our trip was in the beginning of April (2016) pools were somewhat dirty, but it was also very windy at this time. Outside bar/ swim up bar was fully stocked and ready for what you needed. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Hotel Blue and would book here again.

The room was a very spacious, but somewhat dated. Rusty lamp shades and the tile floors were very dirty. Water pressure in the shower was just awful. However, the staff at Hotel Blue was very friendly. Our bartender at the pool was great. So, where the room condition was lacking, the staff hospitality made up for it. This probably wouldn't be my first choice in the future, but this was a good budget-friendly, oceanfront hotel.

My husband and I stayed here this weekened, this hotel has remarkable customers service. We booked this hotel online we paid half when we booked the hotel and the rest when we checked in and it had a set for a king size will the refrigerator microwave beach view on the first floor we thought that that would be a great thing well it was it it was directly by the pool which was loud because kids were playing it so we went to the front desk and we asked if we could switch our room and they graciously switched our room to the 8th floor beach view king size room that was bigger. The room was immaculate it was clean and smell good housekeeping came every day clean the room give us a new linens yes we had to call and ask for more Linens but they came within 3 minutes of calling
