A little getaway

For the holiday weekend so close to the board walk and the beach, the price was unbeatable. The room itself was nice and cozy and checkin was fast simple and easy. Free parking with pass was included which was really helpful and walking distance to entertainment and food. The only this i did not care for was the shower. The water pressure was too light and the shower head didn't really allow you to apply soap before rinsing it away. I would suggest a detachable shower head instead.

The room was cute! The bed was comfortable. The pool could really use updating. Lots of mold and broken umbrellas. The bathroom door wouldn’t shut due to it being swollen from humidity. We asked to check in an hour early and she wanted to charge us $35 extra. The room ac unit is VERY loud. I didnt sleep well due to it. Some may like that. Location was great though. The outdoor shower could really use some cleaning. It was nasty!

Renovation but TINY bathrooms and LOUD AC unit

the place has some upgrades, but tiny tiny bathroom and shower. nice rocking chairs outside each room, direct access to the beach via a gate. The seawitch bar next door had great music, and wasn't too loud from the room. it shut the music down by 1030pm. super loud AC unit on the wall. The beds were comfortable but the stains on one of the sheets in our room. The pool needed cleaning, some guests left glass corona bottles. We informed the staff via text we were checking a day early due to the conditions. They refused a partial refund when I texted about the AC unit and bed sheet stains. I mean its a quick stay just loud AC unit.

The location was great and the room was up to date and decorated well! The only downside due to it being close to everything was noise late and the people thumping around upstairs. We would definitely stay here again though!
