overall wonderful for the price we paid. you get what you pay for but as a young traveler on a girls trip, it was PERFEC
Pros:

super close to the beach (walking distance) so we didn’t have to worry about parking, wonderful staff, super easy check in and check out process. we arrived at 11pm and had to leave at 3am and had 0 issues!!

Cons:

they just underwent renovations so some things are a bit older and overall was a bit muggy inside but that’s hard to avoid in the texas heat anyway!

Nice and short vacation...
Pros:

Location was excellent. Places for breakfast around inside a walking distance. The place is located in the main avenue, but still it is quiet enough at night.

Cons:

Just a little detail: Could be great if the window can have curtains to cover the light. The venetian blinds are not enough to do the job.

Pros:

Very nice room and didn't look old or rusty used.. AC worked perfect and that's a must!

Cons:

Minor detail was two AC outlets above each other didn't work to charge phones. All others did so no big deal.
