The location is amazing. Cleanliness was not great and the condition of the room was poor. Towel bar broken off the wall. Towels were set on the floor for us. T.v. wouldn't work. The mgr. ( he was great!) Fixed it but, it just went out again . Internet went out continuously. We were not the only ones complaining of this. ( nicely of course) Coffee was in the office and they don’t open until 9. Sheets were clean. Bed was very comfortable. ASK FOR AMENITIES AS YOU CHECK IN.

Close to the beach but would never stay again.
Upon arrival clean supplies were stacked outside our room. When we entered we were hit with an extremely strong chemical odor / scent of cleaning supplies it was hard to breathe. That smell was there for the entire stay. Unfortunately we also had very disruptive neighbors above us who were yelling until 3am. We were on ground level. The ceilings are very thin. It felt unsafe and unsettling.
