Wonderful, relaxing experience.
Pros:

The room was nice, clean and quiet. We were right on a busy road with planes flying over and we didn't hear any of it from the room. I loved that it was right on the beach and we had a balcony. It was a wonderful stay.

Cons:

Breakfast was a little disappointing. To have to pay extra for it, it was not much different than a free continental breakfast at other places.

Pleasant but Soggy
Pros:

We loved the restaurant on site and found all staff very pleasant & helpful.

Cons:

We had a first floor walkout. The moment we walked in, we could feel the room was very "soggy". Everything felt damp. We could not rectify this at all. We did not sleep well. When the air ran, it was cold and instantly got humid when it stopped running. It was very 2uncomfortable.

My worst hotel experience ever!
Pros:

View from the balcony although the balcony's width is minimal so one can barely fit a chair

Cons:

The hotel is very old and the carpet in the hallways and rooms has never been replaced and it smells.
The WIFI service in the room was weak in the front room and almost non-existent in the second room. TV in one of the two rooms did not work and channel lineup was minimal in the second and since the WIFI was weak I could not watch YouTube TV on my laptop.
The microwave did not work. Only one of the stove top burners worked. There were no spoons in the silverware drawer and only two knives and two forks.
Finally, the staff was not professionally dressed or groomed and not very friendly.
