Pros:

Near the beach

Cons:

Furniture broken, stained, ripped, holes in walls, no heat had to use space heaters, bedding was dirty. There was mold in the bathroom The narrow bathroom doorway couldn't fit through. The bedroom window was broken and the outside door didn't lock. Thankfully we were just there for only 12 hrs. I will never stay there again

Staff is exceptionally kind, living quarters need work.
Pros:

The location was perfect for a beach day! The staff was absolutely amazing! They even extended the pool hours so my children could get a quick swim in before bed. The views were perfection and I especially liked the deck with a table and chairs where we could relax!

Cons:

The living quarters were boring, no decor, outdated. The furniture was incredibly uncomfortable and the bathroom was in dire need of updating and/or renovation. We had the apartment and I just felt like there was so much more that could be done with such a nice location. And the price was outrageous for the one night we were there.

Felt dirty and unsafe.
Pros:

Location and price were great. Online it said check-in is at noon, but it person they said 3pm. However, they did allow me to check-in just a little after noon. The view isn't bad.

Cons:

It was very run down, and no care taken to make the rooms nice. I wish it had been disclosed that it's not just an inn, people are living there. I did not feel safe staying alone as a woman, especially considering there was no phone in the room to inform the front desk. I later realized there wouldn't have been anyone to call anyway. I had forgotten my cell phone charger and a man tried to enter my room, leading to a very sleepless night. If you are a woman alone, don't stay here.
