Good value and location
Pros:

Location was perfect 👍

Cons:

Although it was mostly clean, the property is beat up. You can see it has a lot of wear and tear on the furniture. Also, the doors to outside were always open and the front desk person was rarely there.

Disappointed
Pros:

Location

Cons:

We reserved 2 king beds & when we got there we were told they only had one. The other room was dirty so we had to take one with queen beds. I also asked or a receipt twice & have yet to get one.

In town for a funeral
Pros:

Location was great. Short walk to the beach (yes I went even in the winter). Quite but that could have been due to it being off season.

Cons:

Love the location. Sad everything around was closed
