Great value! For the cost, this was a terrific stay. The room was clean, well situated (a block from the beach) and friendly staff. Beds were comfortable too. We arrived very late and the after hours check in was smooth. There was no room cleaning/fresh towels mid stay, but we only stayed 2 nights.
