beach access boardwalk access quick responses polite staff clean pool pool area noisy room falling handlebar room wear limited drawer space
The beach access was really convenient. i walked right onto the boardwalk. nearby restaurants are also a short walk away. the staff were polite. They responded quickly to my requests. the pool area was clean and well-kept.
the room was a bit noisy because of other guests. every footstep seemed loud. i also noticed some wear and tear, especially with a handle bar falling off. the free wifi required logging in daily, this was annoying with several devices. i wish there was more drawer space in the room.
