Pros +

  • I like the property, but I paid for a room with a working tub and I got none of that. I pay extra money. Do you have a spa tub that did not work at all I am not going to stay at this property again. I used to love staying at these poppers, but this is the second time this happened to me.
  • Large room, kitchenette. Awesome staff. Awesome location
  • The location is awesome. Just a short walk from the beach. The bed was comfortable although we received an email saying that we released the owners of any liability of bed bugs. The TV has access to many streaming options. The refrigerator was nice. The room is big

Cons -

  • I also did not like how there would not option to shut the windows and have air conditioning when it’s so noisy outside in the morning
  • When we arrived we were told there was an additional fee because we purchased through booking.com. The room smelled very badly like mold especially the bathroom. Bathtub was patched with duct tape. The fan worked but made a terrible scraping sound so we were unable use it. My husband plugged in his cpap and it blew a fuse. They were unable to fix it so they gave him an extension cord to plug into the bathroom as none of the outlets worked. This also meant we had no light. My husband did not want me to go out of the room because of the questionable activity happening in the rooms next to us.
  • Walls are a little thin. A little worn.
