Disliked: Amenities
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was minimal with limited selection. Breakfast area was clean. The layout of the facilities was very confusing. The room layout of the room was comfortable and roomy. We had to call maintenance because we couldn't get the door open to the outside deck area. The maintenance person came quickly and fixed the door. The bed was comfortable but squeaked.

Room was very clean, and no big complaints! What’s good: balcony facing the ocean, vinyl floor for sand control; in-room mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker; free breakfast. Not so good: a little funky looking decor; bed okay, not great; pillows uneven; breakfast not great—bagels old, milk not fresh, little variety; no hot water in bathroom sink but great in shower.

The place had its issues; our coffee maker and refrigerator were both not working. The towels and sheets need to be replaced. The view and breakfast were very good. The housekeeping were hard working and ice. Overall, not a bad place but would not stay there again for the above issues.
