I enjoyed the room and most of the staff was polite. I am a big girl and fell while attempting to avoid the cuckle burrs on stairs, while returning from beach skinning my shin and bruising the sourounding tissue. It's a nice. Place to stay tho and I'm sure thr burrs will be removed.

Property is a little run down. They did make some improvements by upgrading counters and flooring. I was pretty pleased until I seen two cockroaches. One inside of the refrigerator and one in the bathroom. Yuk!
