We found hairs on the bed that were on the sheets and pillows, sand/dirt between the sheets, and the water in the tub wouldn't drain. The manager/front desk guy said he’d change our room but never did. The parking situation is terrible as well with very sparse areas to park. Thankfully we only stayed for one night. Never again!!

Front desk staff was friendly and it was easy to check-in. Parking was easy as well, our room was clean a bit small but doable. The only thing that we were disappointed about was the pool which was not open and we were looking forward to spending sometime enjoying the pool. But overall our stay was great!

Front desk staff rude. Our rooms were not cleaned properly. Also in the middle of the night my Tesla recorded someone trying to break into my car and did capture him opening someone else’s vehicle and stealing. I was also charged extra for a towel t used after going to the beach and they considered it damaged. This stay was not satisfactory.
