Room 306. Overall it was a nice clean cozy studio with view of the ocean. Slept with the slider open all nite to hear the ocean which was awesome hearing the waves crashing all nite. Thats what we were after. Bed firmly comfy. Newer fridge, microwave. Negs - TV was smaller than in other rooms. Toilet flush sounds like a jet taking off. Walls seemed thin, can hear next room conversations (and other things!). Flooring on deck was delaminating a bit and had exposed nail heads. No a/c in room, but a large box fan in closet if needed. Only real annoying thing we experienced besides the loud neighbors at nite was the sliding curtain to the deck, it is one single pull curtain and not a split curtain so the window by the head of the bed let a lot of light in in the am...couldn't block the window unless you pulled the curtain all the way across blocking the access to the deck.
