Pros:
- close to the ocean
- affordable
- great space
- perfect for a family
- easy check in/out
- friendly and attentive front desk staff
- large comfy bed
- extension cord in living room
Cons:
-was FILTHY, surface areas were fine, but whenever we adjusted something, it was sticky on the sides or underneath (like lifting the coffee table or bar stools)
-furniture was horrid:
the cabinet under the TV smelled STRONGLY of stale smoke, and this held blankets for the pull out - we had to share a bed instead
one of the half round brown chairs had a broken leg
couch was hard and extremely uncomfortable
table chairs were flimsy
-kitchen
no cleaning products except dollar store sponge and soap
pans were broken and the skillet was unusable - everything burned, the handle was broken, nothing to scour it with
-the main bathroom smelled of urine
-absolutely no cleaning products!!! how can we keep everything clean without them?
-ceiling light in the bedroom was dimmable but wouldn't get brighter again, and fan hardly moved air (yes we found switches on wall)
-carpets stained
-couldn't have sliding glass door open (to hear ocean) in a secure way (with everyone walking by), screen door ripped by handle, stick too long to block it open a few inches
Ideas:
-new furniture, all the furniture in the living and dining room was unwelcoming and hard
-replace ceiling fan in bedroom
-supply limited cleaning supplies (broom, lysol, scouring pads)
-implement a deep cleaning schedule
-splurge a tiny bit more on the pans - walmart/goodwill not dollar tree
-get a slightly shorter stick for sliding glass door
****to the property owner - the fence in the back is !PRECISELY EYE LEVEL!****
When you sit at the table, couch, or bench outside, the fence is exactly at the horizon line. It's super annoying when you're trying to just watch the waves because you can't. It would be amazing if it were about a foot shorter.
All in all, I wouldn't choose to stay in room 105 again unless it was the only way I could go on vacation. I will attempt a single stay in another room on a higher floor (it didn't feel safe with everyone walking by with the door open, and the fence was at an awful height). If that room is no more clean or comfy, I will not return.
