I had some items missing from my room when I asked for the security cameras. I was told the facility did not have any. I checked out a day early, I don't want this bad experience killed my trip, but it did.

Room was very clean but it did have a clogged, slow draining sink. Not a problem though because the gulf view and sunset show from the balcony chairs was the reason I was there. Front desk guy was very friendly too.

The room was very adequate for the price. Our room walked out directly to the beach which was perfect for our family. The building was old and could use some updates, but for the price not bad.
