Nice that it was oceanfront. It is an older property and it looks like they try to keep as clean as best as they can. There was (dog?) poop outside of our door two mornings. Most likely will never stay here again.

The property is old. Has been updated. But still needs more. Maid service never made both beds. Only one. Had to get coffee cups and toilet paper. No instructions on how to operate tv. Needs smart tvs added. Bathroom shower redone. But shower head and faucet just stuck in wall. Our beds were comfortable.

TV was confusing to use - should have had instructions that matched the remote. Desk clerk was helpful but it took him almost a half hour to get it to work. Toilet lid and seat would not stay up without being held. (Room 305). Comfortable and clean! Would stay again.
