"Proximity to the beach was fantastic. Literally - a couple of minutes. Bring flip flops to wear in the room. My feet were always dirty and had to wash them before putting on my shoes. The floors didn't look dirty they were white, but my feet turned black from walking around the unit. Only used one of the pools and it was cool, felt refreshing from the heat."

"I really enjoyed our stay at this location. The staff were very friendly, nice, and helpful. The property was clean. The room stayed cold. The breakfast was great. It was a very nice change from the usual. They offered pancakes omelettes sausage. There were other options like cereal bagels yogurt and fruit but I was very surprised to see pancakes and omelets. The only thing was the dryer on the second floor didn’t not work and there was not an out of order sign. But I was able to get my 3 dollars in quarters back and go to the 3 rd floor to use the dryer. But that dryer needs some tlc it was so loud and vibrated the floor so bad I let front desk know and they offered to dry my clothes. I was very much appreciated for that. I also forgot to mention to them they need to check the toilet tank in room 227 because it would not fill up correctly after flushing. We had to fill the ice bucket with water and add to the tank."
