The first room I was given had dead roaches all over the floor and wreaked of cigarette smoke. The second room was cleaner but still wreaked of cigarette smoke. Had a homeless person knock on my door at 1am looking for a place to sleep. Will not be returning.

Room not very clean

It was a great location for the beach but the room was not clean. That's my biggest complaint. There was a sock underneath the air conditioner (the air worked great though), a balled up tissue on the floor, and some crumbs (like from a cracker) on top of the bed, plus some other small things that needed a good cleaning. At least there were no bugs!

Quiet and convenient

I always love staying here because it’s convenient by the water and several stores but still quiet enough to be peaceful. Its not the best in terms of comfort because its no thick blankets and lighting is limited in the room but its still mostly clean. My only complaint is that everytime i stay here i encounter people who live here and they will bother you and make you feel uncomfortable if you arent trying to talk or entertain them.

Give it a try!

Second time staying here in 2 months. Good for the price; walking distance to beach; having a kitchenette is always a plus; guy checking us was very friendly, helpful , and allowed us to do early checking at no extra cost. Thank you.
