Pros +
- Nothing
- Friendly staff, location great room!
- It is quaint and not crazy busy. Also it was near downtown shopping and the beach.
Cons -
- Staffs English was hard to understand beds sucked rooms where not easy to get to overall a lousey experience
- Hotel shower was clearly not cleaned/ found a giant clump of hair on the drain. When I took a shower the place flooded which is how I discovered the clogged drain. Gross to think of strangers in the same shower
- The mini frig in our room 206 was barely able to keep anything cold.
