it was in a very good location and very decent price

our microwave didn’t work and we mentioned it to two employees we’re not given a replacement and our room wasn’t cleaned we had placed the sign for it to be cleaned because we wanted fresh towels.

Great location

The room appears to have been be part of a storage room or was used for something else, you could see into a office and it had a closet with a fish or water tank inside. And had a door blocked by a vanity mirror. The description should have said or at least mentioned that for the price it was very deceiving.

"very relaxing"

it was right in front of the beach. It was nice.

The lady that checked us in was very weird and seemed to be in a bad mood. I also let her know that our remote control wasn’t working and she never helped.

Very accommodating staff who were very sweet and excited to help make my stay perfect for me. Thank you so much!

The 2nd night i was there, i stayed in a different room which was definitely not as cool as the first room was. But it was still nice and way worth the cost!
