Noisy, uncomfortable beds, bad stay
Pros:

Close to beach

Cons:

Extra charges for my dog, a $5 a day charge for cleaning my room for our 5 lb dog, plus a $20 non refundable charge, plus a $100 deposit. Booking. Com advertise $122 for 3 days. After pet charges it came out $168 for 3 days. Loud music, pool was nasty, hot tub was so dirty you couldn’t see the bottom. Charged $5 a day for extra cleaning and my room was only cleaned once. No drawers for clothes. We was placed in a corner room next to the laundry room.. forget about napping during the day, walls shook from washing machines in laundry room. Parking spots was small and cramped.
