Jason, Feb 2021
Pros (+) Location was amazing, right in the middle of town within walking distance to everything. Bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was clean. The facilities were modern, and included a laundry room, gym, and pool, all of which were clean and well-maintained. Wifi was fast.
Cons (-) The room smelled a little musty, like it hadn't been aired out. Also, our room was right up against the parking lot; it was a little awkward to open our curtains to see someone loading luggage literally two feet away.

Pros (+) Rooms were big & roomy
Cons (-) The smell of the room was bad smelled like mold & the carpet was dirty dirty dirty. We walked barefoot in there not even for 1 hour & under our feet was black. There was no extra toilet paper we had to borrow from our neighbor.

Pros (+) Spacious rooms, good location just minutes from the ocean, easy parking and helpful front desk staff. The included breakfast, while basic, was welcome.
Cons (-) Housekeeping is stretched ... so cleaning is rushed and some areas missed.
