Great location. Great pool. No kitchen, so eating out is a must.
Pros:

Great pool. Great location, super close to the surf and the town.

Cons:

Not kitchen was a bummer. Only reason my rating is a 7 not a 9 or 10

Terrible stay
Pros:

Location

Cons:

To begin with the room had a horrible dirty water smell when we walked in. Then we figured out why, the had plumbing issues which lead to us not having running water for most of our stay. We had to use the restroom and slept with feces in the toilet the entire night. This is completely unacceptable.

Pros:

Location was great! Parking was little difficult but it was big enough!

Cons:

Customer service wasn’t all there. Bathroom was missing soap and shampoo. I asked for refills but they didn’t refill it.

I really couldn’t figure out who worked there. Most of the time I just tried to look confused until someone asked if I needed help. Other wise I’d look for a cleaning person to help me.
