Robin

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was very clean, and no big complaints! What’s good: balcony facing the ocean, vinyl floor for sand control; in-room mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker; free breakfast. Not so good: a little funky looking decor; bed okay, not great; pillows uneven; breakfast not great—bagels old, milk not fresh, little variety; no hot water in bathroom sink but great in shower.

The place had its issues; our coffee maker and refrigerator were both not working. The towels and sheets need to be replaced. The view and breakfast were very good. The housekeeping were hard working and ice. Overall, not a bad place but would not stay there again for the above issues.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Paint splatters all over the floor and poor painted walls. Creaky floors. When the people above my room walked across the floor it sounded like they were in my room walking about. It made for an uncomfortable and lacking nights sleep. Had to walk through on building (house) to walk outside in rain to enter the next building. Towels were small and very poor quality and rough to the skin. Would not recommend.
