"The elevator was broken for a bit and the water pressure wasn’t great. And the water took forever to get hot. You have to order and pay for breakfast. It is not complimentary or buffet . But parking was free and it is on the beach which is convenient but you have to also pay for the chairs and umbrella if you decide to use them. Rooms were clean and comfortable."
