Great central location, but there is no reception or staff on site
Pros:

The location is perfect!

Cons:

There is no reception! There are no staff members on the premises.
Communication is exclusively through the Booking platform.
The Wi-Fi password provided in the room doesn’t work, so I assume it’s not the correct one.
Bed length is limited! I had my feet outside of the bed - Watch out for tall person

Fab location but do not arrive ater 3pm
Pros:

Fabulous location close to bars,restaurants,shops and the beach

Cons:

The check in
Owner did not reply to anything , we arrived at 5.30pm, and he was aware of the time. No one in sight, office locked amd the emergency phone number on the door would not connect. We waited for over an hour to try and gain access to our room, a 30 minute call to booking.com, we are UK based so cost me a fortune, even they couldnt get hold of the owner. Luckily i eventially had an email with instructions on how to access the room After a 10 hour journey, did not appreciate a 1 hr wait outside the properry.
We tried another hotel over the road but it was fully booked, another traveller had the same ordeal the day before us
The actual room was really good but the whole checking in was horrendous.
Top tip, the office was unlocked so managed to get a car permit haha

A nice little property for a good off-season price, but what's up with that $35 'resort fee'?
Pros:

good value despite the ridiculous $35 resort fee, I guess it was all factored in by the property. Room was nice, A/C worked well, close (easy walk) to beach. Nice pool (whcih I did not use). Easy parking. Staff (office manager) was helpful .

Cons:

Although the property was quiet, I got noisy people above me (lots of walking back and forth with heavy 'pounding' as they walked, and then a little room party going on next to my room at 230AM, not the properties fault but not what I wanted.

Not sure what the $35 'resort fee' was for, they had a small pool (which I did not use), but i guess it all figures into the final price, which was decent.

Some people complained about 'no breakfast' but again if they had it, the room would cost more, so its just fine with me.

Not on the beach, but an easy walk (1 block away).

Great location, clean, spacious rooms, beach and town within walking distance.
Pros:

Location, pool, and rooms feature a nice kitchen and sink area, along with a K-Cup coffee machine and water cooler in the common area.

Cons:

Our room was clean but unfinished with a slanted floor, which might trouble guests with mobility issues. Communication was difficult due to limited on-site management; I wanted to change rooms, but no one was available later. I would stay again but request an upper floor.
