It's all about the Happy Hour

I'm currently on my third day staying at the Atlantic Beach Hotel. The hotel service has been friendly at this 2-star hotel. I chose this place because it was cheap and on the beach. And you get what you pay for. HOTEL PROS: Comfy bed, continuous (though non-adjustable) air conditioning, decent bathroom, plenty of plug outlets. HOTEL CONS: Mold spores on the bathroom ceiling & air vent, hallway noise is quite noticeable, room was very small, old hotel phone crackled during conversation with front desk, front light switch did not work, closet had only 4 hangers. OPEN-AIR BAR PROS: This full mixed-crowd, but mostly-gay bar offers Happy Hour from 5-9pm. Drink prices at that point are $3.75 (including the tax) on all mid-grade liquor drinks except for mojitos and other specialty drinks. They also offer some of the best slider sandwiches I've ever eaten (3 for $5 during Happy Hour, $8 otherwise). Excellent open air seating is pleasant, and the staff are quite friendly. Direct views of the beach, and a nice ocean breeze make this bar a MUST-go-to, even if the hotel accommodations don't quite meet anything above 2-star standards. OPEN-AIR BAR CONS: None. The bottom line: Hotel: 2 stars. Bar: 5 Stars
