I’d definitely stay here again as long as I knew my room location.
Pros:

Perfect location, balcony room facing the beautiful gulf, comfortable beds, with WiFi and other amenities

Cons:

The usb plugs on the lamps didn’t work, the shades were rusty, and the floors could’ve been mopped properly. They seem to use the equivalence of a wet swiffer. And even though I knew ahead of time, the no elevator was a bit difficult with luggage.

It was a good room for the price
Pros:

The value, location and accommodations.

Cons:

The floor wasn't clean. The sheets had stains. One room had no a/c or heat available. Shower curtain rod was broken. The office had signs up everywhere stating no trailers allowed in parking lot yet the lot was full of trailers taking up multiple spots. One truck and trailer was taking up 7 spots. If you have rules then they should be upheld.
