Updates completed are nice, but stil needs a bit more work. Faucet in our room was plumbed backwards, hairdryer blew cold air only, shower door needs deep cleaning due to mildew on caulking, and toilet needs work to fully flush. TV is tiny and the dish network has spotty service. However. Great location close to the beach and a nice walk to all the shops and restaurants on State St.

There's a light on the air conditioning unit to show the temperature that lights up the entire room. Very distracting while trying to sleepAlso, you could use some more hooks in the bathroom, but otherwise it was great. Staff was nice. Location was wonderful. Pool was enjoyable.

Room was nice and clean, we had an adjoining room and also outside was the ice machine so it was a little noisy. But for the price and location it was good.
