Once we entered the room we found ants on the wall, a little dusty all over the counters and some hairs in the tub and trash under the bathroom sink. To stay there for just two nights it was okay.

We stayed for one night. The hotel was clean and it looked like it was upgraded (remodeled). We had a good stay. The only thing we did not like at all was the breakfast buffet. So, we had coffee. And packed up to have breakfast on the pier.
