Pros:

The room was clean, staff were nice, overall, we really enjoyed it!

Cons:

Heavy chlorine smell when you enter the room - we appreciated that we could tell the room had been cleaned, so this is not the biggest deal.

Easy access to highway if you need a place to stay on your travels but overpriced at that.
Pros:

Not much. I would not recommend.

Cons:

Clean but very poorly maintained. I would describe it as shabby. Not much of a breakfast.

It met our needs for a one night stay. Overpriced for what you get though.
Pros:

Convenient location, rooms were fine with a small refrigerator and microwave. Outside landscaping was lovely with tables and chairs to sit and a pool.

Cons:

Breakfast was poor. Self serve with nothing fresh. There were not enough free outlets to charge devices.

It was perfect for our needs.
Pros:

I liked being on the first floor and the rooms all have outside access without having to walk down an enclosed hallway to get outside. These room make it so much easier for us when we travel with our dog.

Just Okay
Pros:

Room was clean and ready for check in when we arrived. Front desk was friendly and personable. Pool was nice, albeit far from room.

Cons:

Breakfast underwhelming but coffee was good and plentiful. AC in room not great; seemed to be on Eco setting and shut off during the night. Woke up very hot. Would run for about 30 seconds before shutting off again. Opened the windows, but very loud surroundings. Room was small; had to squeeze by the second bed to reach the mini fridge. Lots of options in the area around the same price.

Pros:

Breakfast was convenient. Decent selection but not for everyone. One of us enjoyed it more than the other. Lady taking care of it was awesome. Very nice and friendly. Everything was very clean

Cons:

Our room was 101, right up against the main road and lots of noisy traffic. Probably because we used Booking.Com we got a shitty location (past experience) . Room was marked as non smoking but you can still smell it. AC was noisy. Shower was great, room was clean. It was just a place to stay while going to the beaches and out to dinners. served its purpose for me
