There are better options!
Pros:

Good location. Large room.

Cons:

Spa tub was broken. There was hair and glitter in the tub. Black mold in the shower. The Room was not clean. One coffee cup that had utensils in it and was not clean. One tiny trash can. Will not be staying again.

The price was good for such a great location, but due to the cleanliness issues, I would not stay here again.
Pros:

I liked the good Wi-Fi, the clear instructions for check-in, and the fact that all the information was provided on Booking.com. The location was also great.

Cons:

The room could have been cleaner. The bed sheets were clean, but the bedspread on top had some eyelashes on it, so we put it on the floor right away. It was a bit unpleasant.
The floor also had a strong smell of cleaning products, but our feet became black after walking barefoot.

it was fine, not returning to the same place next time though
Pros:

it's close to beaches

Cons:

1) No accountability: Self check-in with no on-site contact. We were charged a $75 pet fee despite having no pet, and neither the chat support nor Booking.com could resolve it, each pointed us to the other. Been one month haven't heard anything about a refund or anything. Quiet hours exist on paper only: other guests were loud and running around at 3am with no one to enforce anything.
2) Parking spots are so narrow you need to let passengers out before pulling in, or they won't be able to open the door.
3) We also found leftover food in the fridge on arrival, which raises cleanliness concerns overall, though the bedsheets themselves were fine.

Horrible mattress, otherwise would have been a 9
Pros:

Great rooms that feel freshly renovated. Very clean.

Cons:

The mattress was horrible. Lumpy and with a big sag in the middle. Felt like sleeping in a pothole
