Pros +

  • Very close to the beach
  • Charm and location
  • location

Cons -

  • It appears the room above us was occupied by someone that was renovating the room and they kept us up until midnight and restarted at 5 in the morning and we did not get a good night of sleep.
  • The desk clerk came into the room unannounced at 8:30 am, saying there was a mixup on the reservation which had previously been paid the preceding night. People were still asleep and it felt extremely invasive.
  • air conditioning was very loud, hampering sleep, very limited parking, room was cramped, floor was very dirty.
