Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had an absolutely fantastic experience at the Empress Hotel! The location is perfect, just steps away from the beach, and the rooms are spotless and modern. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable, always greeting me with smiles. I especially loved the complimentary breakfast on weekends, which was a delightful way to start the day. The outdoor pool area is charming and well-kept. My only complaint was that the nightlife scene got a bit loud at times, but overall, it was a lovely experience, and I can't wait to return!
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was superb and the pool area was fun, the issues with the room preparation and the unfriendly service left me quite disappointed. There were some essential amenities missing, and other facilities could use improvement as well. Overall, the value for the price paid didn't meet my expectations.
My stay was quite enjoyable, with a wonderfully convenient location right across from the beach and near local dining spots. The staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly, making us feel welcome throughout our time there. While our room was clean and comfortable, it did show some signs of aging, especially the small bathroom. The dining options during breakfast were nice, but could use a bit more variety. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and great value for a weekend getaway.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel during my stay. While the location was fantastic and the retro style added charm, there were significant maintenance issues that detracted from my overall enjoyment.

The clean, spacious room made it worthwhile, but I wouldn't say it was a relaxing visit due to the issues encountered.

The Empress Hotel offers a vibrant atmosphere with a fantastic location right across from the beach and close to local hotspots. My room was not only clean but also comfortable, making it a perfect spot to unwind after a busy day. The staff were a true highlight, warmly welcoming me every time. However, I could hear the music from the downstairs nightclub, which might not be ideal for everyone seeking a quieter experience. The complimentary breakfast was a delightful addition, but I wish there were a few more options.
After my recent stay, I can confidently say that this hotel offers a consistently wonderful experience. The staff made me feel right at home with their warm hospitality, and the ocean view from my room was nothing short of spectacular. The breakfast spread was delightful, but it would have been nice to see a bit more variety. Overall, this hotel is a fantastic choice for both business and leisure travelers, though there's a minor need for variety in the dining options.
