Love the beach, comfortable beds and pillows, need WiFi
Pros:

The location, the beach access was right there. You can easily walk to the beach and the bay is so calm.

Cons:

WiFi did not work. Our tv in the living room did not work. We reported it the day we got in and was not resolved. Loud people waking us up even at 3 am. Smelled some we*d… some sketchy neighborhood. Breakfast was ok, no variety every morning. But the lady who works there is very nice (kitchen).
