For the most part the room was clean. The area around the base of the bed and walls had markings on them as if from the mop. There were also handprints on the pocket doors. Nothing major, but noted.

Room with a view!

I read other reviews that were not so good but we couldn’t have been happier! We had a king suite with ocean view and it didn’t disappoint! AC worked great! Cute decor. Comfy bed! Could see ocean from sitting at the kitchen counter enjoying coffee. Great location! Clean park across the street, little local bars and restaurants all over within walking distance. Easy parking. Will come back!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
I had to text some mystery person to get anything we needed like coffee, towels, etc. I asked for room to be serviced and they left what we needed on a chair outside our room. The floor got very sandy as we were by the beach and no one came in to sweep or change sheets after a few days. Unacceptable for the price paid.
