Pros: it was a nice size room with nice hardwood floors and tiles. It was nicely decorated and clean. The bed was form and had great pillows. It was next door to a restaurant. There was enough parking and the property was clean. Cons: the water pressure in the bathroom sink and shower was just a trickle (I’m not exaggerating) and was heavily with softener solution in the water. The opening to the shower was tight, and the refrigerator was loud.

Great location and nice property. Nice room with cozy beds. No microwave but I heated some to go food in the lobby. Our shower was a bit mildewy smelling but tolerable. We walked next door to get some beach access and gorgeous views of one of our favorite places!
