The hotel was nice. I know it definitely had some areas that showed somewhere and tear could use a bit of painting and repair of ceilings and tile in the shower in the room. It was clean. The breakfast buffet was plentiful clean, and the staff in the area was very friendly Front desk. Staff was kind and efficient. The hotel was quiet. The pool area is quite pretty and the food in the restaurant was good.

Lovely Place
We had a family visit and stayed here. The room was lovely. Our only 'complaint' was that house keeping was rather slow. To be fair, the hotel was full every night we were there with a soccer tournament in town.
Every single staff member was pleasant and fun and made the visit even better than it already was.

No pool
I was kind of disappointed, there was a swimming pool and hot tub, but it was under construction. They were going to offer us another Hilton hotel in the area to go swimming. Which seemed like this seemed like a big inconvenience. We were scheduled to go here after our cruise and I changed hotels.

Modern rooms and great food
I liked this hotel and could stay again. The rooms are spacious and in good condition. Food and service in the restaurant is excellent. The pool is also nice and was great to have now that you couldn't swim in the sea due to the hurricanes. The hotel is in a quiet location which we liked but others might prefer to have more bars and restaurants nearby.
A couple of things could improve. The air condition in the room is extremely noisy and blows right in your face. The staff at the reception could be a bit more attentive and service-minded.

Great location right off AMI with wonderful staff.
We were hurricane refugees and Compass was a welcoming place to land for a few days. Staff was amazing. Warm, friendly, helpful and kind. This is our third stay. We’ll come back if the occasion arises.

Love the Jimmy Buffett vibe. Scenery at the marina was cool.
The onsite resturant Floridays has a great ocean vibe. But food wqs overpriced for the small portion size.
Bit of a funky smell coming from the bay on the west side of the bar, likely from the sea grass that washed ashore.
Not enough towel bars in the bathroom.
Water presuure was low.
All this said, i would stay here again
