This hotel also wants to see ur guests visa or immigration status. Searching passport for visa page wasn't nice. I suggest that if u have any foreign guest accompanying ur travel, u may need a different hotel otherwise, ur guests may be heckled for privacy documents.

This property is great because of its easy proximity to the beach-which is so nice. The price is definitely right and it’s a no frills easy hotel to sleep at after a long day in the sun/water. My only complaint is that I tried to access Amazon prime video app and the tv didn’t work and kept showing error codes. Not that big of a deal but would’ve been nice if it had worked
