Cons:

I was surprised when I reached the hotel that the room i booked was not available due to flooding happened. That was the last thing I need to hear after long day of traveling!!

But the staff guy was helpful to refund my money back though it was booked through booking.com that took extra time to finalize the situation

Rip off old motel dump.
Pros:

Nothing, it was old and gross. Everything was rusty and falling apart. The pictures online don’t reflect what was actually there.

Cons:

I got a bunch of extra charges on my credit card, and no receipt to explain them. I feel ripped off with no way to get my money back.

Very close to my home, so a nice getaway. but bungalows are sadly in need of upgrade. Way too pricey
Pros:

The Free chair and umbrella on the beach was great. Enjoyed the pool.

Cons:

1at room assigned to me was apparently undergoing renovation - furniture upside down and everywhere scattered. no mattress on the bed! The second room was ok, but TV and telephone did not work and I had to go and get a maintenance person. Roach in room.
