Pros:

The staff was friendly and it's a great location.

Cons:

There was mold in the bathroom on the baseboard by the shower and the cold water in the bathroom sink did not work. The shower head on the boardwalk did not work to rinse the sand off your feet before returning to our room.

I had to wait almost six hours for my room. And bathroom was right at the door, I barely could walk in with my luggage.
Pros:

I liked that the property is on the beach.

Cons:

I didn’t like that there was only one elevator working.
