Amazing location

Such an amazing location. Directly across from East Beach. Room was large with high ceilings, decent sized kitchen. Smaller bathroom and a few small areas needing some repair but still a great value. Would book again!

Not worth the money.

The rooms are very small. The staff was rude and wouldn’t provide us extra towels. The pool was very small and not well kept. The location is great.

6/10 Good

Not worth the price.Average and weird smell

The check-in was smooth however upon entering the room there was a weird smell that stunk up the room. It smelled like cheap cleaning products and the smell of lime stain due to water damage. Additionally, the WiFi was HORRIBLE. It did not reach our room and we were unable to access anything on the internet due to "poor service". When we asked the front desk staff, they apologized but nothing was fixed. Additionally, the shower area was not well kept and it felt dirty and smelly. The bed itself was comfortable. We were also scared periodically because there was a tree above our room that would drop things on our roof and it felt like someone was walking above us. The floors creaked and the room was small.

Untimely construction

We’re it not for the construction and remodeling going on next to our room I would rate it 5 stars! The location only a couple of blocks from the beach and within walking distance to The Funk Zone was excellent. I would definitely come back one construction is over with.
