Strong musky smell in the hallway.

We stayed here previously. That was the reason it was chosen. The last two rooms were renovated. The room we stayed in this time( Apr 25-27) the worse. The shower head was clogged. I tapped it to open up some water routes. The paint in the tub floor was peelin

Liked: Amenities
We enjoyed our stay so much. The staff were all so nice and friendly. We used the gym a few time which was nice to have. It was close to the beach and the shops so didn’t have to drive far at all. The breakfast we had every morning was fantastic! The only complaint I have was that the bed my daughter slept in squeaked every time she moved. Definitely need a new bed in that room.
