Pros +
- location
- Everything!! It's our favorite place to stay.
- Location to the beach. 1 block away.
Cons -
- not enough parking
- Not really. Screen door would not lock so it got a little warm during the night but that is an easy fix.
- There was a party with kids above us and they were pounding on the floor until 11:00pm and then began again at 6:00am. Also, it wasn't stated while I was booking the room but check in was 4:00pm with check out at 11:00am, less than 24 hours
