Nice, convenient location for a very reasonable price
Pros:

The beds were fairly comfortable. The location was very convenient and staff was friendly. We appreciated the reasonable price, free parking and early 3 pm check in time. Instead of a room key, we were given a room code. This was nice because it was one less thing to keep track of while at the beach.

Cons:

The carpet was pretty damp near the air conditioning unit. We didn't notice at first and had set one of our backpacks there. Luckily only the outside was wet -- nothing inside was damaged. The office didn't open until 9:30 am, so we had to let a member of the cleaning staff know that we were leaving (at 9:00 am).

No microwave or minifridge
Pros:

The location

Cons:

When we went, I was sure to call twice and make sure we got a 2nd floor room and asked if the room came with a microwave and a mini fridge. When we arrived the room was on the second floor but there was no minifridge or microwave when I was assured there would be, when I brought this to the attention of the attendant, I was told there was nothing that could be done. I had hoped that they would have told me beforehand so that I could plan accordingly. I believe this is unfair and unacceptable.
