check in was frustrating. Was given code but it did not work. Had to go to the office and was given actual key. Was told that key lock does not work. I asked why I got a code- there was not answer. I got code at 3:45 and arrived at 4:30. Office closed at 5pm. What would have happened if I did no get there till later? Not a wonderful experience checking in. Once in room was clean, Staff was friendly and a short walk to the beach.
