Untimely construction

We’re it not for the construction and remodeling going on next to our room I would rate it 5 stars! The location only a couple of blocks from the beach and within walking distance to The Funk Zone was excellent. I would definitely come back one construction is over with.

The floors and the base boards in the room were so dirty and the rug felt grimy. The room was nothing like pictured. The front desk said I could cancel the remaining days of my stay but after checking out two days early, they denied Expedia refunding me. Horrible experience.
