The property certainly doesn’t look like it does in the photos. A little sketchy at night time - our window curtain was closed by a piece of duct tape. The “restaurant” is a seafood only buffet. And there was beard hair all over the only sink. Otherwise a cheap place to stay if you’re only going to be there to sleep.

My room was comfortable but they need to fix their drainage system. Washer & Dryer were out of order. Bed was comfy. Neiborhood seemed a little suss. Pool looks nice for summer. Breakfast was toast and 2 cereals. Plenty of restaurants around building. See pix.
