8/10 Good
"What I didn’t like about the property is that, it was to far away from the other properties. I also didn’t like that there were no light poles on the seawall sidewalk ( not well lit). It was black dark… so that made the hotel ratings go down… another than that I give the hotel a 4 stars"
