Coral Reef Inn & Suites
The room was awful; there was no hot water to take a shower. The smell of marijuana was throughout the whole place. The walls are thin, and you could hear muffled voices through the walls. The tub had grime I could not get out. Breakfast was cookies and cereal. Choose somewhere else.
