The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean. Everything was in good working order. I found the hotel's location great. I was right across from the beach!
The blinds in the room did not fit the window. They let in so much light. It wasn't good with all the flashing lights outside. The walls seemed very thin. I could hear everyone coming upstairs. Doors were slamming shut at early hours of the morning.
