Ocean Sky Hotel and Resort
The hotel was pretty good. Didn’t like that it had construction going on and I was not told beforehand. Also parking is $25 per day. The good is that every step I had contact with were very nice and accommodating. Would I stay here again probably not. Maybe the price was lower. Not worth what I paid ...
