Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
There was a huge gap under the door, it was missing the weather seal. The beds were very uncomfortable, very springy. The furniture was very dated, especially the tiny dresser. The wall where the air conditioner was, had cracks and missing Sheetrock, like small holes.

We got upgraded to a bigger room before check in since there was a booking issue. It was nice the hotel contacted us before arriving. The room was great. the area is close to everything you would need. The only complaint is the beds are a bit uncomfortable.

The room was clean, not too noisy, tv box was kinda hanging off the wall and beds were very stiff but maybe some people like that. Very close to the beach which was nice. Front desk was super nice and helpful even offered to let us borrow beach towels which most places would charge for.
