It sucked I am very unset with them they should give me a discount or even a refund for all the inconveniences!
Pros:

Beachfront

Cons:

The ceiling leak after it rained. The floor was dirty I killed two roaches in the room they moved us to a new I ordered two queen beds that’s what I paid for but the new room had full beds in it. And it smells like bugs spray when we moved in.

Bring your bed and lighting
Pros:

Location directl beach access
Close to Pier Patk and great restaurants
Full size refrigerator was good.
The Tiki bar with food was a plus.
The shower was decent but bathroom badly needs update.

Cons:

The beds were so old that I could hear the springs every time I moved.hence so uncomfortable that I didn't get decent sleep..I needed a massage when I got home.
The AC unit spit water non stop on the balcony causing a flood along with mold on balcony and in the room.
The lighting in the bathroom and room needs to be updated..Bring your own lighted mirror if you plan on putting on makeup.

Pros:

Well, if you get a room down by the restaurant, don't remember the name of it. You'll hear music to 12:00 or 1:00 in the morning. Really loud and the rooms are just dirty and just odding in things Make sure you don't get a room down by the restaurant. And make sure you don't have to pay for parking

Location amazing, rooms need updating and new bedding!
Pros:

Location to the beach, balcony view, and the pool area.

Cons:

Our room floors still had sand on them, so it tracked to our beds before we realized it was on the floor. Couldn’t see it but definitely felt it on bare feet. We had to place towels by our beds to wipe our feet.
