I liked that this property because it is close to the beach and the room was clean and staff was friendly. I thought the room was rather small and the bathroom was very small as well. There are hardly any plugs in the room which is inconvenient.

The property was okay. The staff was friendly but the parking was a nightmare. If you don’t find a spot, you lose out. They let others pay to park there and don’t care about where their guest park at as long as they’re making money. The rooms are tiny for the price you pay.
