This hotel is pretty nice and a great value. I typically prefer to stay in private rentals/condos versus hotels, which is why I use Airbnb. We had to check in at the front desk and check out like any normal hotel reservation.
We did arrive around 1pm and attempted to get early check in. The hotel staff said the room was clean and ready but had to get permission from stay sol to let us check in early. We waited in the lobby instead of dropping our luggage with the staff because stay sol told me they would contact the hotel. Long story short we were finally able to check in early at 3pm, but only after waiting 2 hours in the lobby. I wish Stay Sol would have just said we cannot accommodate early check in or told us it would be a while (I told them it was fine if not- we just wanted to know so we could go eat and not wait around if it was going to take some time).
Other than that, the rest of the stay was nice. Please note that you cannot get fresh towels until your 5th day of the stay from the hotel since this is a private room.
All in all it was a good value with a nice location close to the beach. I also loved the fact that the $30 resort daily fee gets you two beach chairs per day from 9a-5p.
The hotel was clean, bed was comfy, and there was a regular coffee pot plus an espresso pod machine. The mini fridge was also a great size for a studio room.
