Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was spacious, 2 King beds! Roomy bathroom with ample counter space. Good water pressure in the tub/shower combo. Easy access off the parking lot. Comfortable bed. Loved the gas fireplace! It put off quite a bit of heat which was nice for the chilly evenings/mornings. Nice view of the beach/ocean from the patio area behind the pool. About 5 min walk down to the actual beach with LOTS of stairs. It's an older facility, so there was some visible wear & tear. Only complaints are the floor was pretty dirty - crumbs under the table and chairs, stuff stuck to the flooring, goldfish cracker under the bed frame. Also, the windows were difficult to maneuver and the screens were bent.
