The location was great, walking distance to both downtown and the beach. The room was clean and comfortable. My only suggestion would be to add a bedside lamp.

Kind of loud, outside sounds as well as neighboring room noises. Tried to use the hot tub but there was a ton of people in the pool room most of the evening, pool room doesn’t require a key so anybody can just go in.

First, they gave us a hole in the wall room. The number to the room was taped on the door with the piece of paper. The clerk kept my ID on accident, and I couldn’t even call to tell them that he had my ID because there was no phone in the room, so I had to walk in the pouring rain to the front office to get it back. Then in the middle of the night, the electricity went out in that room, and I wasn’t able to charge my phone to even be able to call them to let them know I’m pretty upset and would like some kind of credit or some kind of payment for my inconvenience. If someone can, please get a hold of me when I let them know at the front desk in the morning. When I checked out they were very rude.

Clean room and good parking but omg its so loud, I heard everything and everyone. Its great for walking to surrounding places but driving to access the lot is on a one-way street, which makes it hard to get to if you don't go a certain way
