When we arrived it appeared decent from the outside until trying to enter the building. The entry door from the parking lot was ajar and never shut properly with no security upon entering the building. In the room the bed was comfortable with a fridge and microwave so that was good. The beach was nice. The bathroom was just basic and what really bothered me was they couldn't even give a cup to use after brushing your teeth. The door in the bathroom was a sliding door with a recessed handle that was sharp when trying to open and close the door. The entry door to the room was rusty and and had to be slammed in order to shut it. We won't return.

The breakfast was really good. The bed was comfortable. The room was suppose to be ocean view but I couldn't see the ocean for all the buildings and it was closer to the road than the beach. The room was clean but a very strong smell of bleach and I had to leave the door open for awhile. Finding the ice machine and getting to the beach was a obstacle course up and down stairs to buildings that didn't connect. Our door didn't close and latch very well so we had to slam it to shut it and deadbolt it when we were inside to make sure it didn't pop open. It was a stay for our anniversary, so it was somewhat of a disappointment that we couldn't see the ocean from our room.
