One night stay

We came for an overnight and upon check in were offered a free upgrade which was great. The two gentlemen at the front desk were very welcoming. One brought me to see where the room was located and the other showed me where to park my larger sized vehicle. We were on the third floor. I sat outside and watched as the sun set. The sky was gorgeous. Since it was a one night stay in September, we didn’t bring our bathing suits, but I wish I had. The pool looked relaxing. The king sized bed was very comfortable. The location of the Inn was perfect for a walk to the beach. If we are in the area again, I would love to stay here.
View from the porch outside of our room.

No toilet paper . WiFi didn’t work. No one to answer if you need anything from 10 pm-8am and the huge jet bathtub which is the only good thing about the 300 dollar tiny room was broken. Was offered another night on them and then ignored for two weeks and still being ignored.

The man at the front desk was kind and funny upon checking us in. The door to the room was definitely unsafe in terms of locking. The door also face the pool and the curtains weren’t blackout so any passerby could have glimpsed us in some peculiar positions like getting out of the shower etc. some quick changes could include adding blackout curtains, add a small cheap stand to the bathroom to place toiletries and wash cloths, consider including two bottles of inexpensive water in the rooms. To increase luxury they could add memory foam toppers to the mattress to increase comfort.
