The Atrium Resort

Very nice hotel a d great staff

We were a bit hesitant to stay here after reading the reviews but were pleasantly surprised during our stay. I really think some people were being intentionally negative, but our stay and the property were perfectly fine. The property is well located, literally just 2 blocks from the beach. Check in was fine and all employees we encountered were pleasant. The decor has sort of a garden/beach feel, so I’m not sure if I would necessarily say the property is as dated as some people may just not be a fan of the decor, especially if you’re used to more modern stylings in a hotel. To put into perspective, I’ve seen Fairfield branded Marriott family hotels that look similar. We stayed on the 6th floor. The property is 6 floors with a high ceiling, so there was some dust on the ac ductwork, but all accessible areas around the property were clean. The elevator, bathroom, and kitchen within the unit were all updated. The rooms were cleaned well, and the bed was comfy. There is just a soap and shower dispenser in the rooms, with not the best smelling soap, but we brought our own toiletries. As such, the soap/lack of lotion was not a huge deal. Yes, the pool is in the middle of the hotel, but it is enclosed by a 4’ or so wall. Unless someone is a creepster trying to peer down at people at the pool, the area is fine. If you’re fortunate enough to catch this property and a reasonable price, I’d recommend trying it. It’s a solid 7.5-8/10 for sure.

It’s not really a resort. No restaurant. Bring your own toilet paper

The check-in service was a breeze. The room was very clean even though the resort showed some signs of age or needed cleaning in areas that are super hard to reach, such as the vent system in the center of the building. The room was well appointed and had everything you need and would expect in an efficiency suite. The bathroom has builtin shampoo and soap dispensers. The soap in the shower ran out, we checked in late and did not return to the room until after a concert so we had to use soap we came with - this probably should have been checked between visitors each time, since you are relying on dispensers. If you want lotion or conditioner bring your own. The pool is on the smaller side, but really you're there for the beach! Great location and within walking distance to lots of attractions.

The service and amenities were overall good. Unfortunately I have a family with a screaming overactive three year old who wouldn't go to sleep next to my room. In addition, I killed four roaches in two nights. The room was neat. Unfortunately the roaches came out after dark.
