"We have stayed several times at this hotel. We like it because it is across the street from beach & in close proximity to shopping and restaurants. We enjoy the pools on site and the bar by the pool has nightly entertainment."
"The place was not stocked up well and the appliances like coffee machine were dirty. Things were minimally maintained abd the beach equipment was so dirty and smelly, I had yo wash the beach towels before using it and beach chairs wete all stained and smelly. But overall it was clean."
