The staff is always great and the air conditioning is always cold
Pros:

Great staff as always facilities have improved over the last couple years and I understand it's very hard to maintain a building next to the beach

Cons:

I think the elevators could use some maintenance

Nastiest place I’ve ever been
Pros:

Me and my daughter drove 17 hours to get there and then we had to switch to two different rooms because they were full of little cockroaches living in the air conditioning unit,and in the floor. I killed about 20+.when I told the staff they really didn’t care just said thanks for telling me. That was a nasty ass place. I’ve ever been in my life.

I did not stay, i booked online, arrived, checked the room out and left.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

It was dirty, disgusting bedding, flooring was so nasty stained, pieces of odd scraps of carpet. Stove was rusted with foil, dirty, bathroom walls had some sort of soiled surface on the wall. Stains of something all over. Smelled like alcohol vomit. I had a full panic attack walking into the dirty facility.
