This is a good little place if you only want quick beach access and not spending much time in your room. It is located in a good central spot close to everything. You do have to go up a smelly set of stairs to get to your room. When we arrived there was something on our bed with stains. It was yucky. They did respond about it but not until the next day. The bathroom is very tiny with NO outlets so you are not able to plug in a blow dryer or curling iron to get ready. The shower is made for only very short people and tiny, and the bathroom sink looks more like a small urinal. Over all I was not impressed with this particular room. But like I said, if you’re not wanting or needing bigger space and don’t plan on being in your room much, it was affordable for being so close to the beach.
