8/10 Good
"I didn’t like breakfast very much. It was mostly muffins , scones and bagels. One day we had no protein. It was a good breakfast in the past with bacon and eggs. I also don’t like that you can only get ice from an attendant that leaves for the day at 5pm. If you arrive after 5 you can’t get ice until the next morning when the attendant returns, a long time to wait. I love that it’s convenient to everything and has a beach access across the street."

"The room was inviting, clean and smelled great. There was plenty of extra room for storage. We loved the private balcony that allowed us to enjoy the gorgeous view of the ocean. Staff were accessible if needed. The indoor pool and hot tub is also great. Our stay was enjoyable and super affordable. We plan to stay here again soon!"
