Don't waste your money. Believe me you get what you pay for.
Pros:

There was nothing to like

Cons:

Location was not bad, but everything else was horrible. Room was disgusting. Bugs and sand in the bed, tub was dirty, floors had not been cleaned anytime recently and lock on door doesn't work. Door had been pried open and we thought it was locked but housekeeping just barged in before 9 a.m. no knock or anything. Tried to talk to GM but seems like he thinks it is all a big joke.

A good place at a fair price
Pros:

The location is great and the parking lot is huge. The staff is very friendly. They have 2 coin operated washers and dryers. There is an ice cream stand on site. The beach is across the street. The room prices were very good for a stay in Oct.

We left this place!
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Room was very dirty, bed leaned and was hard to fall asleep as well as there were bugs in the room and the door did not close all the way, there were gaps under the door as well as on the side, the refrigerator was dirty and nasty on the inside as well as leftover dried food in the microwave. We got a room with a pullout couch and that was very beyond birty that I would not let my worst enemy sleep on. We stayed there for about 4 hours and decided to pack up and go somewhere else. Pictures are very deceiving and not true to what it actually looks like online. Location was great but be careful booking this location.
