Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Room was not ready due to staffing shortage, but I got a room on 2nd floor instead of ground so that was good. Had to have cc present so glad I had a back-up.
My room was super clean and looked like the pictures on website. Best part was the location is 1 block from the beach. Great price for the location!

Room was not ready an hour after check in time and put us by the laundry room and they were doing laundry late when we were trying to sleep!
Cute room with fridge but would have liked a microwave and coffee. Probably will never stay there again.
