"great location, clean facility. only minor complaint is the walls and ceilings are thin so you can hear neighbors talking and the rooftop footsteps/music/partying, but we expected that and brought earplugs."

"Fabulously charming, refurbished room that was perfect for our beachtown stay. No noise issues whatsoever. Shower is spectacular, in-room check-in and -out short and simple, but be prepared to know how to use streaming "TV" if you are only used to cable/broadcast. Tiki bar downstairs is cute, and the drinks were wonderful."
