Wasted about $100 in food after finding out the freezer and fridge, although on, were NOT working properly. Spoke to staff, who said they would talk to management, and have never heard from anyone. Bad customer service, in my opinion. Sad because it's a great location and quiet property.

Beautiful room. Perfect for staying a couple of days. Fully furnished kitchen and electric stove, microwave, pans, dishes, utensils, the works!! Very clean, friendly but firm rules. The only thing i was taken by surprise was the "continental breakfast" whoch consisted of wrapped donuts, granola bars, and fresh fruit. Worked for me anyways but so looking forward a nice sit down breakfast. I still highly recommend this place. The view is spectacular since it is ocean view. Just loved it❤️

It was nice and clean and great location. Walking distance to many food and drinking spots. Only thing was the walls were super thin and we can hear everything. I recommend staying on the second floor or the rooms that don’t have rooms above you. Other than that, it was perfect.
