The Room was great for what we needed it for. The shower head was messed up a bit and there is no ventilation in the bathroom so you will definitely have to open a window for air but besides that, it was a good experience. Limited parking so if out at the end of the night, you'll have to hope that parking is available. Any additional requests we asked for as far as towels or other things, they were quick to take care of which I appreciated. Great location close to the beach and other shopping and dining. I would stay there again!

The room was clean and neat. Towels looked a little suspect and I always pack my own wash cloth which was good because there weren't any. I wouldn't trust then anyway. It was a good hotel. I would recommend it for young people and a really quick stay.
