It was the cheapest option, so we picked it, and for 1 night it was fine.
Pros:

It was right next to the beach.

Cons:

The mattresses were incredibly uncomfortable, both me and my husband had back aches and struggled to sleep. It was an old mattress. And the bathroom door was gross, it looked like there was old blood smeared on it. The tv also didn’t work.

Pros:

Clean, nice staff, cool room location

Cons:

The upstairs neighbors are ridiculously loud so the roof is very thin! They are stomping sliding scooting running and its 11pm. My phone in the room doesn't work and neither does my tub ( won't drain)

Comfortable and good location

Close to the beach and just a 20/25 mins walk from the funk zone. Really friendly staff and a comfortable bed.

It was clean but we do find a lot of stray hairs around. Especially in the bathroom.
