Horrible couldn’t wait to leave
Pros:

Nothing horrible

Cons:

Everything should be torn down ceiling falling down looked like it was falling apart the nastiest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The mattresses sunk in so bad you had to park in a crack alley because they sold off their parking. Had to haul all our stuff down by hand no carts. Worse stay I’ve ever had. And no mention this wasn’t the original beachcomber if stayed at before. Not convenient to anything. Hated it the no convenient way to beach. Just horrible

Pros:

Beautiful place ,unti we slept and was getting dripped on throughout the night. Everything in room was damp,literally ceiling to floor, our clothes that was still in opened suitcase...Everything. ....
Staff tried to say this was normal, I disagree. Asked for management to call, but they never did. So I can't give a great review when I had to go spend a few hours at laundromat to get musky smell from Clothes.

Cons:

Waking up to soaked room
