The pictures are misleading. Rooms are in need of renovation, mold on the bathtub. Litter everywhere. Pool and hot tub could not be used due to special needs equipment everywhere. People in the property were noisy, left trash everywhere… really unpleasant experience

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.
