It was a bit disappointing check in they had a virtual person, that couldn't locate my reservation. Had to repeat my name numerous times, tried to offer my confirmation number, but just keep telling me he couldn't find my booking. So they had to ask the on-site person help, which withn seconds he located my reservation.

Liked: Cleanliness
Check in was easy at the kiosk. The room was basic but did the job for sleep and a shower. We noticed that some people claim to have an issue with getting their deposit back, which was concerning. At check out, it's explained that it takes up to 5 days for the hold to clear, which it did. For the price, this place was good. It's close to the beach, near dining, has an indoor hot tub, and plenty of parking.
