"Room was clean, everything we needed was provided and they even let us check out an hour late since it wasn't busy and didn't charge anything. It was a little too cold for beach activities, but honestly it's in a perfect walkable area when the season is right. The bed was SUPER comfortable and we got a fantastic night's sleep! "
