Pros +

  • The location was nice, it's right across the street from Jennette's Pier, which is a popular destination. They guy at the front desk was nice. We had a ground floor unit, so we were able to park right in front of our hotel room, literally right in front of the door, so we didn't have any steps to climb. There is a popular restaurant right next door, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, there is also a convenience store right across the street. The room had extra blankets and a small fridge and a microwave, as well as a pod coffee pot. (not sure where you're supposed to get water for it.....)
  • room was good
  • The front desk person was courteous and helpful. The price and location was great!!

Cons -

  • We paid for a Spa room, which has a jacuzzi tub. I wasn't able to get the water above the jets before the hot water ran out. I noticed how dirty the jets were and I pulled the plug and refused to get in the dirty tub! There was black all around the jets, as well as hair from the previous tenant. This was nasty to look at and was very disappointing. The room was very musty, which is to be expected from a ground floor unit right near the ocean. They did provide a dehumidifier, which filled up twice during our stay. The blow dryer in the bathroom wouldn't work. The freezer in the fridge was frozen up and needed to be defrosted and there wasn't room to put anything in there.
  • kiosk
  • There wasn't an elevator and the ice machine was leaking everywhere.
