Room does not look like the picture on the site. Maybe 10 years ago but not current. The room looked run down. Room was dirty with spider webs on celling. Mold in the tub and on the floor in bathroom. No towels no toliet paper. Sheets had stuff on them. One lamp that was broke and a small tv. You have to take your towels to the front desk to get new ones and you can only get one towel per guest. And no ice you have to by a bag for 7$. The only plus was the beech.

First room we walked in was musty smelling! Smoke detector would go off every 5 minutes and the fridge didnt work. Was accomodated to another room...the smell of musty was horrendous, had to go to walmart to purchase freshners and a fan. The shower one day had no hot water. The elevator broke down for a period of time and we were on the 5th floor ugh. The smell of trash around the outside was strong. We made the best of it! Is all we could do. Will never return to that location! Nor reccomed it to anyone.

The rooms were clean! Air conditioner worked wonderfully, the shower had hot water. We had a wonderful view of the ocean. The elevator was dated, and you can only get ice by the bag. Other than that, we had a great stay and would recommend!

Sucks!

We were hot both nights we were there. Air was the lowest setting it could be and we only used the sheets to cover with. I checked the air vents and cleaned them slmyselfz they were horrible and probably hasn't been cleaned all year or more. Don't bother cooking unless you bring your own utensils, dishes. There was only one tiny sauce pan, 4 forks, and no spoons or knives or cooking utensils. No soap or paper towels. The towels in the bathroom were so tiny and thin. Pictures definitely are deceiving. There were stains everywhere. I didn't bother taking photos because I was so mad I didn't want to think about it I just wanted to enjoy my weekend. Staff was friendly. There was one woman there though who had a filthy mouth in front of all the families at the pool, but they seemed to be just like her and didn't mind the language. Her husband works there apparently and made sure to tell everyone to clean up their messes (jokingly),...but annoying. I won't be back and will not refer anyone here. The whole stay was worth $100 at the most, not the $419 that I paid for.
